Gobi Fabric

Gobi Olive has a subdued olive-green ground with a cool grey cast, giving the close weave a quietly layered appearance. The surface is finely textured rather than patterned, with tiny tonal flecks visible across the swatch.

About this fabric

This dense-looking woven fabric is best read as an upholstery textile, with a stable surface and an understated, small-scale texture. Its olive shade is softened by grey and charcoal-like variation, so it feels muted rather than bright or yellow. The fine irregular weave catches the light gently, adding depth without introducing a distinct motif. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Gobi Olive on a tailored sofa, armchair or dining chair where its greyed olive tone can sit comfortably with warm timber, stone, charcoal and natural linen. Its restrained texture also works well when a room needs colour without a strong repeat or decorative pattern.

A close, understated weave with a greyed olive tone that brings quiet depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Gobi Olive 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.
