Duo 184

Weave Fabric

Duo 184 is a saturated cobalt-blue textile with a compact, pebbled weave visible across the swatch. Its close texture catches the light in small tonal shifts, giving the colour depth without a printed pattern.

About this fabric

The surface combines vivid blue with darker navy-leaning flecks, creating a softly mottled finish rather than a completely flat colour. Its dense, even construction has the substantial visual weight associated with upholstery fabric. The small-scale weave remains understated from a distance but reveals a lively tactile surface close up. No composition, width or rub-test information has been supplied for this colourway, so those specifications should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use Duo 184 on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat where its deep cobalt tone can become the room’s focal colour. Pair it with warm timber, brushed brass or quiet neutral walls to balance the saturated blue.

Use this richly textured cobalt weave to bring depth and colour to upholstered seating.

Duo 184 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.
