About this fabric

Catalogued as an Outdoor fabric, Sol Ube is suited to upholstery where its relaxed colour and subtle surface texture can be appreciated. The close-up image shows a fine, regular weave with a lightly textured finish rather than a pronounced motif or directional pattern. Its muted purple-blue cast gives the fabric a cool, softened depth, while the even weave keeps the overall look clean and composed.

How to use it

Use Sol Ube on outdoor seating or relaxed upholstered pieces where its cool lavender tone can bring a gentle violet accent without overwhelming the room. Pair it with pale grey, chalky neutrals or deeper blue-green shades to reinforce its muted, contemporary feel.

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.
