Quartz 03 FR

Brand: Swaffer

Plain Fabric

Quartz 03 FR has a pale, cool blue ground interrupted by irregular indigo marks that resemble loosely brushed or broken pigment. Fine vertical slubs and visible weave give the surface a softly worked, textile-led character.

About this fabric

The colourway moves between misty blue-grey and deeper ink-blue, with the darker marks appearing in scattered, uneven clusters across the face. Its abstract pattern has a medium visual scale, while the vertical grain and lightly irregular surface keep the design feeling tactile rather than flat. The supplied record identifies this as a Fabric from Swaffer’s Plain collection, but provides no composition, width or performance specification. As a result, suitability should be confirmed against the intended making requirements before ordering.

How to use it

Use this cool pale-blue and indigo colourway to add painterly contrast to a light, tonal room, particularly on a statement chair, footstool or softly gathered curtain. Repeat the indigo in smaller accents so the scattered marks feel considered rather than busy.

The pale blue ground and broken indigo marks bring painterly movement to upholstery, cushions or relaxed drapery.

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.
