About this fabric

This Lelièvre fabric has a plain construction, with a softly textured surface that appears predominantly ochre-gold and slightly darker in its fine tonal shifts. The colour is warm and grounded rather than bright yellow, giving the cloth a mellow, sunlit depth. Absolu - Gentiane is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. Its restrained surface keeps attention on the rich colour and understated weave.

How to use it

Use this warm mustard-gold colourway to add a concentrated note of ochre to a neutral room, especially on a tailored chair, bench or full-length curtain. Pair it with natural wood, warm ivory and deeper brown accents to draw out its earthy depth.

A warm mustard-gold plain weave that brings depth and gentle colour to upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

Absolu - Gentiane 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.
