About this fabric

The pattern is visibly large-scale, with repeating interlocking geometric forms across the main field and a narrow ornamental border running along the selvedge. Its indigo is deep and cool rather than bright, while aqua and cream bring contrast and the taupe accents soften the overall effect. At 530 gsm, this is a substantial fabric with a 56 threads-per-cm construction, suited to upholstery applications. The 136 cm usable width accommodates a 136 cm horizontal repeat, while the vertical repeat measures 78.5 cm.

How to use it

Use the indigo colourway on a statement armchair, headboard or sofa where its cool depth can anchor pale walls and natural timber. Echo the aqua and chalk details with restrained cushions or painted accents rather than introducing another strong pattern.

Use this substantial geometric weave to bring cool indigo, aqua and chalk tones to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Burdock & Star Indigo without fighting it. 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.
