About this fabric

This Cordfr colourway has a dense, fine-wale texture and a deep aubergine shade that sits close to burgundy in the darker areas. Narrow highlights along the raised ribs give the surface gentle definition without introducing a separate pattern. The overall effect is moody, tactile and substantial, making the fabric particularly suited to upholstered forms. The supplied record identifies it as a Fabric from Kirkby Design’s Cordfr collection; no composition, width, rub-test figures or performance features are provided.

How to use it

Use the dark aubergine tone on an armchair, sofa or headboard where its vertical ribbing can add texture to a plain scheme. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and soft neutrals to balance its deep plum-burgundy colour.

Use this deep aubergine cord to bring rich colour and tactile vertical texture to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Cord Fr Crib 5 Aubergine 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.
