About this fabric

The fabric reads predominantly as ink navy, with small blue motifs emerging through the dense weave rather than sitting as a bold printed pattern. The compact surface has a softly irregular, pebbled texture that catches the light in tiny points across the swatch. Its dark tone and small-scale design give it a composed, tailored character for upholstered furniture. No composition, width or rub-test data is supplied for this listing.

How to use it

Use this deep ink-blue colourway on a statement armchair, dining chair or compact sofa where its small pattern can read as texture from a distance. Set it against warm timber, aged brass or pale stone to bring definition to the near-black navy ground.

Its near-black navy ground and tiny woven motifs bring quiet depth to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Trinidad - Encre without fighting it. 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.
