About this fabric

This colourway is built on a deep, cool teal ground that gives the swatch a dense, inky depth. Across it, irregular vertical bars and short rectangular blocks form a broken geometric grid, with accents of brick-coral, dusty blue-grey and charcoal. The close-set marks create a lively pixel-like rhythm, while the visible woven grain softens their edges rather than making them look printed or flat. The result reads as a graphic, medium-scale textile with a confident, urban character.

How to use it

Use the cool depth of Metropolitan Teal on a statement chair, sofa or headboard, where its coral and blue-grey marks can be picked out in cushions or painted accents. Its dark blue-green ground works particularly well with charcoal, blackened timber and warm terracotta details.

A cool, graphic teal upholstery fabric that brings coral and blue-grey accents to contemporary seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Metropolitan Teal without fighting it. 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.
