About this fabric
Catalogued as a fabric, 44 Cardinal has the substantial-looking woven surface visible in the swatch, making it well suited to upholstery. The design is almost plain at a glance, while close inspection reveals subtle horizontal and vertical texture across the face. Its deep red tone leans towards burgundy, with blackened variation that gives the colour a moody, grounded character. No performance features are noted in the supplied data, so the defining qualities here are the rich colour and tactile woven finish.
How to use it
Use 44 Cardinal on a reading chair, ottoman or tailored sofa where its wine-dark red can act as a confident focal point. Pair it with aged timber, warm neutrals and antique brass to draw out the depth in the weave.
A dense, tonal red weave with a softly textured surface for tailored upholstery.
Pairs well with
44 Cardinal 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.
