About this fabric

This colourway is a notably deep aubergine, with a wine-purple cast held close to black in the shadowed areas of the swatch. Subtle horizontal and vertical tonal variation gives the plain face a quiet woven grain rather than a printed motif. The surface looks softly brushed, with restrained shifts in sheen that add depth without making the colour bright. No composition, width, usage or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this near-black aubergine on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat where its dark, plush-looking surface can create depth. Balance the saturated purple with warm timber, aged brass or softly contrasting neutrals.

A near-black aubergine tone with a softly textured face for rich, low-key upholstery.

Pairs well with

Crush Ii 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.
