Drake Colibri

Drake Colibri is a deep olive-green textile with a densely pebbled surface and gentle tonal variation across the cloth. Its close, tactile texture gives the shade a softly dimensional appearance rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The olive tone reads as earthy and slightly mossy, with darker flecks creating depth through the closely textured surface. Fine irregular nubs cover the image in an all-over pattern, giving the fabric a tactile, quietly rugged character. Drake Colibri is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied information. Its compact visual texture makes this colourway particularly suited to relaxed, substantial upholstery schemes.

How to use it

Use Drake Colibri on an occasional chair, sofa or headboard where its deep olive tone can anchor a room without becoming overly bright. Balance it with warm wood, aged brass, cream linen or soft stone shades to draw out its earthy character.

Use this deep olive shade to bring earthy depth and tactile interest to upholstered seating, especially alongside warm timber and natural neutrals.

Pairs well with

Drake Colibri 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.
