Osumi Fern

Acara Fabric

Osumi Fern is a subdued fern green with a softly weathered, olive cast. Its close, even weave gives the plain surface gentle tonal variation rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a cool-to-neutral olive green, softened with grey so it feels calm and understated rather than bright or botanical. A fine, closely packed weave is visible across the swatch, creating a delicate textile grain and a lightly tactile finish. The plain construction keeps the focus on the depth of the green and the subtle way the surface catches the light. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Osumi Fern with warm timber, chalky neutrals and natural linens to balance its muted olive tone. Its quiet surface also suits relaxed curtains, cushions or upholstered pieces where a low-key green is wanted.

Use this quiet olive-green woven cloth to bring a soft, grounded tone to seating, cushions or curtains.

Pairs well with

Osumi Fern 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.
