Smooth Sapphire

Smooth Iii Fabric

Smooth Sapphire is a deep, saturated blue with a cool inky quality. Its plain face is softened by a barely visible fine texture, giving the colour quiet depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a uniform sapphire-blue ground with a close, subtle surface grain visible across the face. The shade reads darker at the edges and richer in the centre, creating a composed, enveloping effect without a printed motif. Its dense-looking, opaque appearance makes it particularly suited to structured upholstery where the colour can provide a strong focal note. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Smooth Sapphire on a statement armchair, banquette or sofa against warm timber, pale stone and brushed metal. Its cool, saturated depth also works well as a grounding blue in a room layered with softer blue-grey and neutral textiles.

Use this deep, cool sapphire blue to give upholstered seating a confident, tailored finish.

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.
