Name: Knight Pesto

Heir Fabric

Knight Pesto pairs softened pesto olive with warm straw-beige in an irregular vertical stripe. The close woven texture gives each stripe a gently mottled edge rather than a perfectly crisp line.

About this fabric

The colourway is anchored by a subdued, earthy olive that reads calm rather than bright, with pale beige stripes bringing measured contrast. Several stripes contain fine tonal variation, so the vertical arrangement feels woven and organic instead of printed. The cloth has a compact, tactile surface with a softly raised, nubby appearance visible across the swatch. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use the muted pesto olive on an upholstered chair, headboard or sofa, balancing it with warm beige, aged brass and dark timber to echo the stripe’s earthy depth.

Pair the muted olive stripes with warm neutrals and natural timber for a quietly tailored scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Knight Pesto 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.
