Alpaka Madder

In Alpaka Madder, the Alpaka collection takes on a deep, wine-red character. The photographed cloth falls into broad, soft folds, revealing a fine surface that shifts subtly between burgundy shadow and muted red light.

About this fabric

Alpaka Madder is a deep, warm red that settles into burgundy and oxblood through the folded areas, while raised ridges catch a restrained red sheen. The close view shows an even, finely textured surface rather than a printed motif, with soft folds giving the cloth a fluid, tactile appearance. Its dark wine tone brings concentrated colour and a luxe feel to upholstered seating. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this deep madder shade on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its wine-red depth can anchor softer neutrals. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and dusky blush accents to draw out the fabric’s muted red warmth.

A rich madder-red upholstery with a softly lustrous surface for statement seating.

Pairs well with

Alpaka Madder 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.
