Element Marine is a deep, cool marine blue with a softly mottled surface. Its fine horizontal texture gives the dark colour gentle movement rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a densely woven textile in a near-navy marine tone, with subtle blue variation visible across the surface. Fine horizontal lines create a restrained ribbed effect and catch the light softly, giving the cloth quiet depth. The dark, cool colour reads smart and tailored, particularly suited to upholstered forms where the texture can be seen at close range. No composition, width, rub test or additional performance features have been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Element Marine on a sofa, armchair or headboard when you want a cool navy anchor with understated woven texture. Pair it with pale timber, chalky neutrals or warmer tan accents to prevent the deep blue from feeling overly stark.

Use this deep marine blue to bring tailored depth and subtle texture to upholstered seating.

Element Marine 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.
