About this fabric

The swatch is covered in a small, regular grid of fine horizontal and vertical lines, creating gently raised rectangular cells across the surface. Its mallard tone sits between deep teal and softened forest green, with the darker colour giving the weave a calm, enveloping depth. Subtle shifts in the surface catch the light across the grid, preventing the dark shade from appearing flat. No additional performance or composition specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Merlon Mallard on a neatly tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its deep blue-green tone can act as a grounding colour. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and quieter neutral textiles to bring out the woven texture without competing with its small-scale grid.

Use this deep mallard teal to bring tailored colour and subtle surface depth to upholstered seating.

Merlon Mallard 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.
