About this fabric

The colour reads as a dark, cool-leaning green, with subtle tonal shifts that keep the shade from appearing flat. Fine horizontal yarn variation creates a softly irregular woven texture across the face of the fabric. The close-looking surface gives Orion Forest a substantial upholstery presence, while its restrained pattern remains visually quiet. This is a richly grounded colourway for furniture where depth and texture matter more than overt decoration.

How to use it

Pair Orion Forest with warm timber, aged brass and natural neutrals to balance its deep green tone. It would bring particular depth to a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat.

Use this deep forest green to give upholstered furniture a grounded, quietly tailored feel.

Orion Forest 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.
