About this fabric

The ground reads as a saturated midnight-to-lapis blue, giving this colourway considerably more depth than a straightforward bright blue. Narrow copper and russet lines form a compact windowpane structure, while small amber and blue details add a subtle, almost textile-like sparkle. Its dense, orderly weave has a structured appearance suited to upholstered forms where the geometric pattern can remain clearly legible. The contrast between the cool blue field and the warmer metallic-looking lines gives Urban – Lapis a smart, graphic character.

How to use it

Use Urban – Lapis on a statement chair, ottoman or tailored sofa, pairing its cool blue depth with walnut, aged brass and warm leather. Rust, cognac and tobacco accents will pick up the warmer lines within the grid.

Use this deep lapis upholstery with warm timber, burnished metal and russet or cognac accents to bring out the copper-toned grid.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Urban - Lapis 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.
