About this fabric

The cool aqua-blue shade sits between soft blue and pale teal, with a slightly weathered quality that keeps it sophisticated and easy on the eye. A fine vertical grain runs through the surface, creating subtle tonal movement as the light changes across the swatch. The visible construction suggests a versatile mid-weight fabric suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No composition, width, rub test or other performance specification has been supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use Athena - Acqua to bring a cool, airy note to an upholstered armchair, headboard or pair of curtains. It works especially well with chalky whites, pale timber and softly contrasting warm neutrals that balance its blue-green undertone.

A cool, quietly textured aqua blue suited to tailored upholstery, cushions or softly structured window treatments.

Athena - Acqua 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.
