About this fabric

This colourway reads as a muted apple green with warm yellow undertones, so it feels brighter than a sage but less sharp than a citrus shade. The surface has a lightly brushed, almost frosted effect that catches the light unevenly, adding depth to the plain weave. Made from 100% polyester, Modena is specified for contract use and offers an impressive 80,000 Martindale, making it a practical choice for high-traffic interiors. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and can be professionally dry cleaned in situ or washed at 40°C, subject to the pattern book’s further care guidance.

How to use it

Use this fresh green on banquettes, dining chairs or accent cushions where you want a clean lift without a hard, primary colour. It pairs especially well with pale oak, chalky neutrals and brushed brass.

A fresh green neutral that works well on compact upholstery and coordinated 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.
