Athena - Acajou is a deep mahogany red, reading almost oxblood in the darker areas of the swatch. Fine vertical striations break up the colour, giving the surface a quiet, directional texture rather than a visible pattern.

About this fabric

In Acajou, Athena settles into a warm, dark red with brown-mahogany depth rather than a bright scarlet note. The close image shows an even textile surface crossed by narrow vertical lines, with slight tonal variation where the light catches the weave. That restrained texture keeps the colour dimensional while preserving a calm, tailored appearance. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Pair this deep mahogany-red colourway with dark timber, aged brass and warm neutrals for a cocooning, atmospheric scheme. Its quiet vertical texture also suits a tailored armchair, headboard or statement ottoman where the colour can provide depth without a bold motif.

Use the deep mahogany-red tone to bring warmth and dramatic depth to upholstered seating or occasional pieces.

Pairs well with

Athena - Acajou 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.
