Carrera Violet is a softly faded mauve violet with a subtle, textured plain weave and a gentle low-sheen finish. The colour reads muted and calm rather than bright, with lighter highlights catching across the surface.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Carrera Violet is specified for contract use and offers a robust 80,000 Martindale, making it a practical choice for busy upholstery schemes. The fabric has a lightly textured plain appearance, with the weave visible through the surface and a softly mottled depth that keeps the violet tone from feeling flat. This colourway sits between pink and purple, with a dusty, rosy undertone that looks especially elegant under natural light. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and professional in-situ cleaning or washing at 40℃ is noted in the after-care guidance. The overall effect is smart and restrained, with enough softness to warm contemporary seating without overpowering it.

How to use it

Use Carrera Violet on banquettes, dining chairs or occasional pieces where a muted violet can add colour without shouting. It pairs neatly with pale oak, warm grey and brushed metal finishes for a composed contract interior.

A soft mauve violet that brings a calm, tailored note to contract seating.

Carrera Violet is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

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.
