M647 Indigo

Name: M647 Indigo

M647 Indigo has a cool, deep indigo ground crossed by softly irregular horizontal bands. Fine pale threads and small block-like accents interrupt the dark field, giving the surface a quietly graphic character.

About this fabric

The visible weave combines smoky blue-grey and indigo tones, with layered horizontal lines that vary in density across the width. Small rectangular areas of lighter thread appear at intervals, adding a subtle, broken rhythm rather than a rigid stripe. Its structured, textile-led surface reads as a versatile mid-weight suitable for both upholstery and drapery. In changing light, the lighter woven marks bring gentle contrast to the otherwise deep, muted colourway.

How to use it

Use M647 Indigo to bring cool depth to a tailored chair, sofa or roman blind, pairing it with chalky neutrals, weathered timber and brushed metal. The broken horizontal pattern works especially well where a room needs texture without a bold, high-contrast motif.

A cool, structured indigo woven with broken horizontal marks that suit tailored upholstery and understated curtains.

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.
