About this fabric

This Mark Alexander velvet reads as a cool ottanio teal, sitting between deep blue and green with a dark, atmospheric depth. Its plain face has a close, softly brushed texture rather than a printed motif, and the nap creates understated tonal movement from edge to edge. The rich colour and velvety handle make it well suited to upholstery, particularly where a strong jewel-toned surface is wanted without a pattern. No performance features are noted for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Urbane Ottanio on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat to bring a cool, saturated teal accent into a room. Pair its inky depth with warm timber, aged brass or quieter neutral textiles so the changing nap remains visible.

Use this deep, cool teal velvet to add rich colour and softly changing texture to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Urbane Ottanio 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.
