About this fabric

This Plains design from the Modena collection is made from 100% polyester and is specified for Contract use, with an 80,000 Martindale rub test for hard-working interiors. The swatch reads as a rich plum-brown blend rather than a bright purple, with a subtle velvety depth and irregular speckling that gives the colour extra movement. Its back-coated fire rating is supplied to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and other treatments are available upon request. Care is straightforward for a contract textile, with Professional Dry Clean In situ or Washable @ 40°C, subject to the pattern book guidance.

How to use it

Use this smoky plum on banquettes, accent chairs or upholstered panels where a darker, more atmospheric tone is wanted. It pairs well with walnut, bronze and soft taupe for a tailored, slightly luxurious look.

A moody plum plain that works well on tailored seating and contract schemes.

Modena Plum 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.
