Torben Buxton Blue

Name: Torben Buxton Blue
Brand: Romo

Torben Buxton Blue has a cool, softened blue-grey ground with a closely woven, irregular texture. Fine pale threads move vertically through the surface, giving the colour gentle depth rather than a flat block of blue.

About this fabric

The visible weave is dense and tactile, built from narrow vertical striations and small flecks of lighter yarn. Its blue-grey tone reads muted and slightly atmospheric, with the cooler blue showing between the softened grey threads. Subtle shifts in the weave catch the light across the swatch, creating a naturally mottled finish without a defined repeat motif. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Pair this cool blue-grey with chalky whites, pale oak and brushed metal for a quiet contemporary scheme. Its fine vertical texture also sits comfortably against plain linens, boucle and softly toned neutral upholstery.

Use this cool blue-grey weave to bring subtle texture and calm depth to upholstery or relaxed window treatments.

Torben Buxton Blue 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.
