Heir Fabric

Knight Denim pairs a cool, weathered denim-blue ground with slender pale stripes that run vertically across the cloth. The irregular edges and softly raised surface give the colourway an organic, tactile character.

About this fabric

The visible design is made up of broad blue-grey bands interrupted by uneven narrow stripes in a warm pale grey-beige tone. Rather than reading as a crisp graphic stripe, the softly broken edges and fine surface variation create a gently aged, handwoven impression. Its substantial-looking, textured weave makes it particularly well suited to upholstery, where the vertical rhythm can add height and definition to a chair or sofa. No composition, rub-test or other performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair Knight Denim with chalky neutrals, weathered timber and soft taupe upholstery for a calm, cool-toned room; use the vertical stripe on a statement chair or headboard to emphasise height.

Use the cool denim ground and pale irregular stripes to bring relaxed structure to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Knight Denim without fighting it. 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.
