About this fabric

Sahara Iii Indigo is shown as a quiet, plain woven surface with no printed motif visible. Its blue sits in a deep indigo register, tempered by charcoal-grey threads that keep the colour cool and softly shaded rather than bright. The close, fine crosswise texture gives the swatch a dry, tactile appearance, with subtle variation where the weave catches the light. No composition, width, rub test or usage specification was supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use its charcoal-leaning indigo tone to give upholstery a calm, tailored depth, especially alongside pale timber, warm neutrals or brushed metal. The fine woven texture adds interest without introducing a strong pattern.

A cool, charcoal-toned indigo with subtle woven texture for tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Sahara Iii Indigo 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.
