Olympia Lavender is a softly textured plain in a light lavender lilac, with a cool, powdery finish that feels clean and understated. The close weave gives the surface a neat, tactile look rather than a flat one.

About this fabric

Part of the Olympia collection by J Brown, this colourway is a plain design with a tightly worked surface and a gentle heathered effect that softens the overall lilac tone. The 100% polyester composition and 40,000 Martindale rub test make it well suited to contract upholstery, while the back-coated fire rating to Cigarette & Match to BS5852 supports commercial use. Its colour reads as a pale, dusky lavender with a cool edge, so it feels lighter and less sugary than a brighter purple. Professional dry clean in situ is recommended, with further care guidance available in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use Olympia Lavender on banquettes, accent chairs or headboards where you want a calm colour with a little softness. It pairs especially well with pale oak, stone neutrals and brushed nickel for a refined, contemporary scheme.

A calm lavender that brings a fresh, tailored softness to contract seating.

Pairs well with

Olympia Lavender 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.
