Ruskin Crimson presents as a deep, saturated red with a remarkably even surface and a restrained woven grain. The close-up swatch shows subtle tonal movement rather than a printed motif, giving the colour depth without visual pattern.

About this fabric

This is a plain crimson textile with a dark, warm-red character that shifts gently across the surface as the weave catches the light. At 410 gsm and 22 threads per cm, it has the dense, substantial appearance expected of a hard-wearing upholstery cloth. The fabric has a usable width of 140 cm and a standard length of 30 m. With pattern repeats of 0 cm vertically and horizontally, it can be cut without matching a design.

How to use it

Use Ruskin Crimson on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat where its saturated red can act as the room’s focal colour. Balance the depth of the shade with warm timber, aged brass or quieter neutral textiles.

Use this deep crimson woven cloth to bring saturated colour and visual warmth to upholstered seating.

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.
