About this fabric

The colour sits between moss and olive, with a subdued depth that reads darker in the recessed texture and lighter across the raised yarns. Small rounded slubs give the cloth a tactile, pebble-like surface, while the vertical and horizontal bands create a graphic structure without sharp edges. The uneven grid is especially visible across the close-up, where lighter olive threads interrupt the deep brown-green ground. With its substantial-looking woven texture, this colourway is well suited to upholstery.

How to use it

Use 01 Olive on a reading chair, sofa or footstool alongside aged timber, warm stone and quiet natural linens. Its brown-green depth can anchor a room without the stronger contrast of a brighter green.

Use this deep olive weave to bring earthy colour and tactile depth to upholstered seating.

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.
