About this fabric

The close-set weave creates tiny chevron ridges across the surface, with the olive threads softened by brown and charcoal flecks. Rather than reading as a flat green, this colourway shifts between earthy moss, deep olive and warm shadow as the light moves across the texture. The compact woven structure appears substantial and well suited to upholstery, particularly on pieces where its small-scale pattern can add depth without dominating the form.

How to use it

Use this muted olive colourway on a classic armchair, sofa or dining seat, pairing it with walnut, aged brass and warm neutral textiles. Its brown-charcoal undertone also works well in rooms with stone, leather or deep timber finishes.

A dense olive-brown herringbone that brings tailored texture and quiet depth to upholstered seating.
