M544 Raspberry

Name: M544 Raspberry
Brand: Mark Alexander

M544 Raspberry combines a deep, dusky raspberry ground with charcoal and olive-grey lines in a finely gridded check. Its softly irregular woven surface gives the colourway a tactile, quietly rustic character.

About this fabric

The fabric shows layered horizontal and vertical lines forming medium-scale checks, with the dark raspberry threads softened by charcoal, olive-grey and occasional pale flecks. Close up, the weave has a dry, nubby texture rather than a smooth or glossy finish, giving the red tone visual depth. The dense-looking construction makes it well suited to upholstery applications, particularly where a checked textile with a relaxed, tailored feel is wanted. It is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Pair the dusky raspberry with charcoal, weathered timber and olive accents for a grounded scheme, or use it on a statement chair to add warmth without a bright red effect.

Use this deep raspberry check to bring warmth and tailored texture to upholstered seating, benches or occasional chairs.

Pairs well with

M544 Raspberry 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.
