About this fabric

The swatch shows a dark plum-brown ground crossed by irregular vertical and horizontal yarns, creating a subtle check-like texture rather than a bold graphic pattern. Fine lighter threads appear intermittently across the surface, giving the colour a softly broken, dimensional quality. The deep eggplant tone reads almost chocolate-brown in the shadows, while its violet cast becomes more apparent where the weave reflects light. This close, dense-looking construction makes the fabric especially suited to upholstered furniture where its restrained texture can be seen at close range.

How to use it

Pair Lasca Eggplant with warm timber, smoked metal and muted cream upholstery for contrast, or use it on a statement chair to deepen a room with its dark plum-brown tone.

Use this deep eggplant-brown weave to bring quiet depth to tailored seating and darker, atmospheric interiors.

Lasca Eggplant 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.
