Chiado Eggplant

Chiado Eggplant is a dark, muted aubergine shade with a noticeable brown-red cast rather than a bright purple finish. The close-up shows a fine, even plain weave whose tiny surface variation softens the depth of the colour.

About this fabric

This is a visually dense textile with a compact, closely spaced weave and no visible printed motif. Its eggplant tone shifts towards warm brown and burgundy across the swatch, while the fine crossing threads create a restrained, lightly textured surface. The even structure reads as a versatile mid-weight suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair the brown-leaning aubergine with warm timber, aged brass and softly contrasting creams for a cocooning room scheme. On upholstery it gives depth without the sheen of velvet; as drapery, its subdued purple-brown tone can create a darker, tailored frame around a window.

Use this deep, brown-tinged eggplant weave to bring quiet colour and tactile depth to upholstery or softly tailored drapery.

Pairs well with

Chiado 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.
