About this fabric

The image shows Absolu in Bordeaux as a near-solid, deep wine-red cloth with a very fine, even grain. Rather than a printed motif, the surface is uninterrupted, with only slight tonal variation across the swatch. The close-up suggests a smooth, fine textile rather than a pronounced pile, while the saturated red-bordeaux tone gives it visual depth without visible shine. No composition, width or performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this deep Bordeaux red to give an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard a concentrated, dramatic accent. Its quiet, even surface works particularly well where the colour itself is intended to provide the visual richness.

The deep Bordeaux-red, finely textured surface brings a rich, quiet accent to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Absolu - Bordeaux 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.
