Orion Nettle

Orion Nettle is a deep olive-green textile with an almost black cast, giving the surface a quietly atmospheric character. Fine horizontal striations move across the swatch, adding texture without introducing a visible motif.

About this fabric

The close-up reveals a dense-looking woven surface in a muted nettle green, considerably deeper than a fresh or yellow-toned olive. Subtle variations between green-black and softer olive threads create gentle depth as the light catches the horizontal weave. The design is visually plain, with the interest coming from its linear texture rather than a printed or woven pattern. No composition, width or rub-test data was supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Orion Nettle on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its dark olive tone can anchor warmer timber, aged brass and earthy neutrals. Its near-black depth also suits layered, low-lit rooms that need texture without a strong pattern.

Use this near-black olive shade to bring depth and quiet structure to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Orion Nettle 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.
