About this fabric

The surface is a compact, even weave with delicate horizontal movement rather than a pronounced motif. Its plum colour carries a subtle brown-red depth, giving the swatch a rich but softened appearance instead of a bright purple finish. The supplied record lists no performance features for this fabric, so its use should be considered from the visible woven handle and intended design context. The low-contrast texture keeps the overall look composed and quietly tailored.

How to use it

Use Profile Plum on a statement chair, bench or sofa where its dark wine-plum tone can sit against warm timber, aged metal or softly contrasting neutral upholstery. Its muted depth also makes it effective for adding colour without introducing a busy pattern.

Use this deep plum weave to bring quiet colour and tailored depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Profile Plum 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.
