Sauvage Indigo

Name: Sauvage Indigo
Brand: Mark Alexander

Sauvage Indigo has a cool, subdued indigo ground that reads almost charcoal in the photograph. Fine vertical chevron lines run closely across the surface, giving the cloth a softly directional, tactile character.

About this fabric

The woven surface is densely textured, with small irregular chevrons forming repeated vertical columns rather than a bold graphic motif. Its blue-grey indigo tone is muted and mineral-like, with lighter threads catching across the ridges and preventing the colour from appearing flat. The cloth has the substantial visual presence of an upholstery weave, while the narrow pattern keeps it composed and tailored. No performance features are noted in the supplied catalogue information.

How to use it

Pair this cool blue-grey indigo with smoked timber, charcoal, and pale stone for a restrained contemporary scheme. On a sofa, headboard, or occasional chair, the vertical chevron texture brings pattern and depth without introducing a strong contrast.

Use this cool, charcoal-leaning indigo weave on tailored upholstery where its fine vertical chevron texture can add quiet depth.

Pairs well with

Sauvage Indigo 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.
