Fibre Marine is a deeply shaded marine-blue textile with a dense, irregularly grained surface. Fine ivory and pale blue flecks break through the dark ground, giving the swatch a softly weathered, tactile appearance.

About this fabric

The closely packed weave is built from short horizontal and vertical yarn marks, creating a small-scale, almost crosshatched texture rather than a printed motif. Its near-navy marine tone reads cool and atmospheric, while the scattered ivory flecks add definition without making the colourway feel bright. The substantial-looking surface is visually well suited to upholstery, particularly where a dark, textured fabric is preferred over a flat plain. No performance features or further construction specifications are noted in the supplied record.

How to use it

Use Fibre Marine on a tailored sofa, armchair or headboard where its cool marine depth can anchor pale timber, chalky walls and warm ivory upholstery companions. The irregular pale flecks also connect naturally with brushed metal and softly patterned neutral textiles.

The deep marine ground and ivory flecks bring tailored contrast to sofas, headboards and occasional chairs.

Fibre 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.
