Modena Aubergine

Modena Fabric13113

Modena Aubergine is a deep, near-black plum with a soft, low-sheen surface that reads rich and moody in the light. The plain weave gives it a calm, upholstered look with subtle tonal movement across the pile.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a dark aubergine purple with brown undertones, creating a saturated shade that feels refined rather than bright. The surface has a lightly mottled, velvety appearance, so the tone softens and deepens as it catches the light. Woven in 100% polyester and specified for contract use, it is built for demanding interiors, with an 80,000 Martindale rating and a back-coated finish to Cigarette & Match to BS5852. After-care is Professional Dry Clean In situ or Washable @ 40°C, with further instructions available in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use this aubergine on statement chairs, banquettes or bedside upholstery where its depth can anchor lighter walls and wood finishes. It pairs especially well with warm neutrals, brass details and smoked timber for a smart, atmospheric scheme.

A rich, dark tone that adds depth and a tailored finish to seating.

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.
