Amalfi Aubergine

Amalfi Fabric50

Amalfi Aubergine is a deep, almost shadowy plum with a soft matte look and very fine surface texture. The colour reads rich and cocooning, with just enough warmth to keep it from feeling flat.

About this fabric

This plain fabric from the Amalfi collection by J Brown is woven in 100% polyester and specified for contract use, with a hard-wearing 60,000 Martindale rating. The swatch shows a dense, close surface in a dark aubergine tone, with subtle plum and brown undertones that make the colour feel grounded rather than bright. Its matte finish gives the shade a velvety depth, so the fabric absorbs light and appears especially moody in lower light. It is supplied back coated to cigarette & match to BS5852, and professional dry cleaning in situ is recommended, with further care guidance available in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use this colourway on upholstered dining chairs, banquettes or occasional seating where a dark, luxurious tone can anchor the room. It pairs well with warm wood, brass and soft neutrals, especially if you want the aubergine depth to stand out without feeling dramatic.

A rich, close-woven plum shade that brings depth to tailored seating and contract schemes.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
