About this fabric

The design is arranged in staggered horizontal rows of interlocking, elongated curves, giving the surface a strong sense of movement. Against the near-black indigo base, the ochre and rust accents read warm and earthy, while the ivory and blue details add cooler flashes of contrast. The compact woven texture softens the sharp geometry and gives the pattern a tactile, substantial appearance. This is a confident colourway whose dark depth makes the brighter threads particularly noticeable.

How to use it

Use Alula - Indigo on a statement armchair, dining seat or compact sofa where its dark blue ground can anchor a room. Repeat the rust and ochre accents through timber tones, leather or warm metal rather than adding another busy pattern.

A characterful indigo upholstery fabric, pairing well with warm timber, cognac leather and muted brass.

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.
