Botero Slate

Botero Slate combines a deep charcoal-slate ground with a neatly repeated cube design picked out in pale stone-grey lines. The cool, restrained contrast gives the geometric pattern a precise architectural character.

About this fabric

The pattern is formed from interlocking outlined cubes, creating a consistent three-dimensional rhythm across the fabric. Against the dark slate background, the lighter lines remain clearly defined without becoming bright or high-contrast. A fine visible weave softens the graphic effect, adding subtle surface variation to the otherwise ordered design. Catalogued as a fabric, this colourway has a smart, tailored presence that suits structured upholstery schemes.

How to use it

Pair Botero Slate with warm timber, brushed metal and chalky neutrals to balance its cool charcoal tone. It works particularly well on clean-lined chairs, benches or a structured sofa where the repeating geometry can remain visible.

Use this cool, architectural slate colourway to bring tailored contrast to contemporary upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Botero Slate 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.
