Cubist Ink

Outline Fabric

Cubist Ink is a deep ink-blue textile with an almost black appearance in the shadowed areas of the swatch. Its understated geometric surface reveals a quiet grid when the light moves across the weave.

About this fabric

The cool ink-blue ground is crossed by softly defined squares and rectangles, creating a low-contrast checked composition. Fine horizontal lines within the woven blocks add a restrained ribbed texture rather than a sharp printed outline. The pattern shifts between visible blue and near-black as the surface catches the light, giving this colourway considerable depth without bright contrast. No performance features or further specifications are noted in the supplied details.

How to use it

Use Cubist Ink on a statement chair, sofa or ottoman where its near-black blue tone can anchor a room without the flatness of solid black. Pair it with pale timber, brushed metal or warm neutral upholstery accents to bring out the subtle checked texture.

A near-black ink-blue ground and subtle checked weave bring quiet graphic depth to upholstered seating.

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.
