About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Epoque Ottanio has the dense, softly textured appearance associated with a pile fabric rather than a flat woven surface. The colour sits between deep teal and blue-green, with darker areas appearing where the nap turns away from the light. A faint mottling across the swatch gives the plain colour added depth without introducing a visible motif or repeat. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this cool, deep petrol teal to upholster a tailored armchair, ottoman or sofa, especially against warm timber, aged brass or pale neutral walls. Its changing nap will bring subtle movement to a room without relying on a pattern.

Use this deep petrol teal on a statement chair, sofa or ottoman where its velvet nap can catch the light.

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.
