Melange Ottanio

Accent Ii Fabric

Melange Ottanio combines deep ottanio blue-green with softened taupe, charcoal and pale yarns in a visibly tactile woven fringe. Its irregular strands create a layered, dimensional surface rather than a flat colour field.

About this fabric

The photographed trim is built from closely woven horizontal bands with loose fringed ends, giving the material a substantial, highly textured appearance. Its cool blue-green strands are threaded through charcoal, warm taupe and ivory fibres, creating a gently weathered melange. The darker ottanio tones add depth between the lighter yarns, while the uneven fringe catches the light in fine highlights. The supplied record lists no composition, width or performance specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Melange Ottanio on the edge of a teal, charcoal or natural-toned upholstered chair or sofa, where its taupe and ivory threads can soften the cool blue-green base. It also works as a decorative contrast against plain linen or velvet in warm neutral rooms.

Use this richly textured teal-and-taupe trim to bring layered colour and tactile detail to upholstered furniture.

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.
