Smooth Aubergine
Smooth Iii Fabric
Smooth Aubergine is a deeply saturated purple that falls close to black in the shadowed areas of the swatch. Its smooth face has a restrained tonal lift where the light catches it, giving the colour quiet depth.

About this fabric
The swatch presents an almost-black aubergine shade rather than a bright or reddish purple, creating a dramatic, enveloping impression. Its surface appears smooth and densely even, with very subtle variation across the face instead of a visible pattern or pronounced weave. The compact, substantial-looking appearance makes it read most naturally as an upholstery cloth rather than a fine, fluid drapery fabric. No composition, width, rub-test or performance data is supplied for this exact fabric, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended project.
How to use it
Use Smooth Aubergine on a statement chair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its near-black purple depth can act as the room’s anchor. Balance the shade with warm timber, aged brass or pale neutral walls to reveal the slight light-catching softness of its surface.
A near-black aubergine tone with a smooth, quietly rich surface for deep-colour upholstery schemes.

Pairs well with
Smooth Aubergine 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.
