Kente Atlantic

Name: Kente Atlantic
Brand: Mark Alexander

Kente Atlantic combines a deep blue-green ground with staggered blocks of stormy blue-grey, creating a graphic rhythm softened by the irregular woven surface. Its dark Atlantic tone reads cool and richly shaded across the swatch.

About this fabric

The design is formed from medium-scale rectangular blocks arranged in offset rows, with the darker teal ground giving the pattern considerable depth. Fine horizontal yarn variation runs through the cloth, breaking up the solid areas and adding a gently weathered, tactile appearance. The blue-grey sections catch the light more softly than the near-black teal areas, so the check-like arrangement remains dimensional rather than flat. No further composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Kente Atlantic with charcoal, ink blue and aged timber for a moody, tailored interior, or use it on a single statement chair to let the cool teal-and-grey geometry lead the scheme. Its dark tonal range is particularly effective against pale stone or warm plaster walls.

Use this deep teal geometric weave to bring graphic structure and cool, layered colour to an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kente Atlantic without fighting it. 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.
