Galdana Ink

Galdana Ink combines an inky blue base with fine ivory yarns in a tightly woven, directional herringbone. The result is a cool, quietly graphic surface with visible depth across the swatch.

About this fabric

This close-up shows a dense textile built from alternating diagonal lines that meet in a repeating chevron formation. Ink-blue and charcoal-toned yarns sit alongside pale ivory threads, creating a softly broken pattern rather than a flat block colour. The compact weave has a tactile, lightly ridged surface, while the mixed yarn tones allow the pattern to shift subtly as it catches the light. Its tailored geometry gives the colourway a composed, smart appearance.

How to use it

Use Galdana Ink on a tailored armchair, dining chair or sofa where its cool blue depth can anchor ivory, grey and natural timber accents. The small-scale herringbone texture also works well alongside plain linens and softly textured neutrals.

The cool ink-blue ground and ivory flecks give this tailored woven texture a crisp, architectural feel on upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

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