Modena Olive is a richly muted plain fabric with a softly mottled, velvety surface in mossy olive tones. The colour reads warm and earthy, with a subtle golden depth that catches the light across the pile.

About this fabric

This Modena colourway has a dense, even plain surface that looks smooth at a distance and lightly textured up close. The olive shade is softened by golden undertones, giving it a warm, grounded character rather than a sharp green finish. Made from 100% polyester and specified for contract use, it is designed for demanding interiors, with an impressive 80,000 Martindale rub test. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and professional dry clean in situ or washable at 40°C care options are noted in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use this olive tone on tailored seating, banquettes or feature cushions where you want a smart but natural-looking finish. It works especially well with walnut, aged brass and muted neutrals.

A durable contract plain with a rich olive tone that brings warmth and depth.

Pairs well with

Modena Olive 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.
