About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric in Swaffer’s Plain collection, Acer 55 - Armadillo has a dense, even woven structure rather than a printed motif. The close-up shows deep olive-brown colour threaded with darker flecks and warmer brown variation, giving the surface a gently mottled appearance. Its low sheen keeps the shade earthy and subdued, while the compact texture adds depth as light catches the individual threads. The substantial-looking weave makes this colourway read particularly well as an upholstery cloth.

How to use it

Use this deep olive-brown shade on an armchair, sofa or dining seat where its earthy depth can anchor lighter timber, warm neutrals and aged brass. Pair it with cream or tobacco accents to draw out the warmer threads visible in the weave.

A deeply toned, textured plain weave that brings earthy depth to upholstered seating.

Acer 55 - Armadillo 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.
