Iliad Moss

Indienne Fabrics FabricZOF0088-02

Iliad Moss combines a deep, muted moss-olive ground with repeated pale botanical forms that resemble delicate, spreading seed heads. The softly mottled surface gives the colourway an aged, painterly depth rather than a flat green finish.

About this fabric

The substantial 425gsm weight makes this a strong upholstery choice, while the 140cm usable width allows generous cutting. Its botanical repeat measures 138cm vertically by 140cm horizontally, creating a large-scale arrangement across a chair, headboard or sofa. Cream and warm stone-coloured motifs stand out against the cool olive ground, with irregular tonal marks adding a weathered, tactile-looking character. The supplied construction is also densely specified at 26.8 threads per centimetre.

How to use it

Use Iliad Moss on a statement armchair or upholstered bench, pairing its moss-olive depth with aged timber, chalky neutrals and brushed brass. Keep surrounding textiles quieter so the pale botanical repeat remains the focal point.

The muted moss ground and pale botanical forms bring softly layered, natural depth to upholstery.

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