Orta Fabric

Orta Denim is a muted blue plain weave with a softly irregular, nubby surface. Its cool denim tone is threaded with subtle grey and blue-green variation, giving the swatch gentle depth rather than a flat solid colour.

About this fabric

The close woven texture has a small, organic slub that catches the light unevenly across the surface, creating a quietly tactile finish. Composed of 43% linen, 51% viscose and 6% polyester, this 137cm-wide fabric is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery. Its Contract and General Domestic upholstery grades make it suitable for seating projects as well as window treatments. Orta Denim is dry clean only.

How to use it

Use this cool denim-blue colourway on a relaxed armchair, sofa or dining seat, where the nubby weave can add texture without introducing a strong pattern. It also makes understated curtains alongside chalky whites, soft greys, weathered timber and blue-green accents.

Pairs well with

Orta Denim 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.
