About this fabric

At 530 gsm, this is a dense, substantial fabric with a visibly firm woven texture suited to upholstery. The design combines interlocking zigzags, stepped diamonds and star-like geometric forms, with carmine-red shapes set against fig, brown and charcoal tones. Cream details brighten the pattern, while muted olive and blue-green accents add depth without disrupting its warm, earthy character. The 136 cm usable width carries a 78.5 cm vertical repeat and a 136 cm horizontal repeat; a narrow ornamental border runs along one side of the pictured design.

How to use it

Use the fig and carmine colourway on a statement armchair, bench or sofa where its warm, tapestry-like depth can be read at close range. Balance the dense pattern with plain upholstery in cream, dark brown or muted olive.

Use this substantial geometric weave to bring layered fig, carmine and cream pattern to upholstered seating or occasional pieces.

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.
