About this fabric

The image shows a sculptural upholstered form covered in a plain, smooth-pile velvet with no visible repeat or woven motif. Chapinero Watermelon reads as a warm watermelon coral, with a softened red-orange cast rather than a cool pink. The nap shifts from bright coral on the raised curves to deeper wine-red in the hollows, making the surface visibly directional as it catches light. Catalogued as Velvet, this exact textile is supplied without noted performance features.

How to use it

Use this warm coral-red on a statement chair or curved sofa, balancing its saturated tone with dark timber, smoked stone or the deep brown-marble surroundings shown in the image.

A warm coral-red velvet with a soft lustre, suited to sculptural upholstery and statement seating.

Pairs well with

Chapinero Watermelon 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.
