About this fabric
This colourway presents a very dark, earthy olive with a muted rather than vivid character. A barely perceptible surface texture prevents the shade from looking completely flat, while the low sheen keeps the overall impression calm and matte. No composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this fabric, so those details are not stated here. The opaque, substantial-looking appearance shown in the swatch makes it best suited to upholstery.
How to use it
Use 08 Olive on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its shaded green tone can act as a grounded alternative to black. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and lighter natural neutrals to bring out its earthy depth.
A deep olive solid with a quiet, understated presence for tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with
08 Olive 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.
