Absolu - Coquelicot is a saturated poppy red with a clean, uninterrupted field of colour. The surface appears smooth at a glance, with gentle tonal variation that keeps the strong red from looking completely flat.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a warm, vivid red rather than a softened berry or burgundy shade, giving it an immediate, confident presence. A fine, barely visible surface texture creates slight shifts across the swatch as the light changes. The design is plain, with no visible motif or repeat to interrupt the colour. No composition, width or performance features have been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Coquelicot as a focused colour statement on a chair, sofa or pair of curtains, balancing its warm red intensity with quiet neutrals, dark timber or pale stone tones.

Use this saturated poppy red to bring confident colour to upholstered seating, curtains or tailored soft furnishings.

Absolu - Coquelicot 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.
