Olympia Chestnut
Olympia Fabric241
Olympia Chestnut is a dark, earthy plain with a tightly textured surface and a muted olive-brown cast. The close weave gives it a practical, understated look with just enough grain to keep the colour from reading flat.

About this fabric
This colourway sits in a deep chestnut-olive register rather than a reddish brown, with the weave catching light in small, subtle flecks across the surface. It is a 100% polyester fabric designed for contract use, with a 40,000 Martindale rub count, so it brings both visual restraint and hard-wearing performance. The plain design style keeps the emphasis on tone and texture, making the finish feel neat, dense and quietly tailored. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it is suitable where compliance matters, and other treatments are available upon request. Professional dry clean in situ is advised, with further care details in the pattern book.
How to use it
Use this deep olive-chestnut shade on banquettes, office chairs or quiet statement armchairs where a darker, more grounded finish is wanted. It pairs neatly with walnut timber, aged brass and warm neutrals.
A grounded olive-brown that suits tailored seating and contract schemes.

Pairs well with
Olympia Chestnut 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.
