About this fabric

The image shows a dense field of narrow vertical ribs in a deep blue-grey tone, with subtle shifts between slate and ink as the surface catches the light. The linear texture gives this colourway a structured, tailored character rather than a flat appearance. Catalogued as a Fabric, Sculpt Indian Ink is suited visually to upholstery, where the pronounced rib can add definition to a chair, headboard or sofa. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair this cool Indian Ink blue-grey with pale timber, brushed metal or warm neutral upholstery for contrast. Its fine vertical rib works especially well on clean-lined seating where the directional texture can remain visible.

Use this cool, inky blue-grey ribbed texture to bring depth and a tailored feel to upholstered seating.

Sculpt Indian Ink 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.
