Rock Fabric

Rock Navy is a deeply saturated navy textile with an almost blackened depth. Its softly mottled surface gives the dark colour quiet movement rather than a completely flat appearance.

About this fabric

Rock Navy is a near-blackened blue with a fine, granular surface visible across the swatch. Tiny tonal variations keep the dark colour from reading as flat, while the low-sheen face absorbs rather than strongly reflects the light. This dense-looking surface gives the fabric a tailored, upholstery-led presence, particularly on larger seating forms where its depth can be appreciated. No composition, width, rub-test or performance-feature details were supplied for this colourway, so those points should be confirmed before specification.

How to use it

Use Rock Navy on a compact sofa, occasional chair or headboard where its ink-like depth can anchor a room. Balance the cool blue-black tone with ivory, stone, pale oak or warm brass accents.

Use this near-blackened navy with pale timber, warm neutrals or brushed metal for tailored, quietly dramatic upholstery.

Pairs well with

Rock Navy 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.
