M650 Foresta

Name: M650 Foresta
Brand: Mark Alexander

M650 Foresta is a deep forest-green plain weave with a quiet, finely pebbled texture. The close-up shows subtle tonal variation across the surface, giving this dark green colourway depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

The weave is visibly compact and lightly irregular, with small shifts between green and charcoal-like threads that soften the overall depth of the shade. Foresta reads as a cool, muted green rather than a bright or heavily saturated colour, while the fine texture catches the light gently across the swatch. The supplied record lists no composition, width or rub-test data for this fabric, so these details should be confirmed before ordering for a particular application.

How to use it

Use this deep forest green on a relaxed armchair, footstool or cushion where its softly textured surface can be seen at close range. It would also bring a grounded, leafy note to curtains or simple upholstered pieces against warm timber, stone or off-white surroundings.

The deep forest tone and understated woven texture suit relaxed upholstery, cushions and softly tailored curtains.

M650 Foresta 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.
