Profile Fabric

Layer Marine is a deep marine blue woven textile with a near-black cast in the shadowed areas. Fine, broken horizontal highlights bring movement to the otherwise dark, even field.

About this fabric

Layer Marine is shown as a deep, cool marine blue, with pale blue-grey threads breaking across the surface in fine horizontal traces. The close, irregular weave gives the swatch a softly striated appearance rather than a printed motif, while the dark ground keeps the overall effect grounded and atmospheric. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature is noted in the supplied specification for this exact fabric, so those details should be confirmed before ordering. Its visibly substantial woven face gives it an upholstery-led appearance.

How to use it

Use this cool, near-black blue on a statement chair, headboard or sofa, where the fine horizontal texture can soften the depth of the colour. Balance it with chalky neutrals or warm oak to keep the marine tone from feeling too stark.

Pair this deep marine blue with pale timber, charcoal and warm metallic accents for a calm, tailored interior.

Layer Marine 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.
