Kowloon Racing is a deep olive-green velvet with a softly shifting surface and fine vertical striations. Its dark, mossy tone reads atmospheric rather than bright, with the pile creating subtle bands of light and shade.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Kowloon Racing has a dense-looking surface that is well suited to upholstery. The close-up reveals narrow vertical channels and irregular tonal movement through the pile, rather than a printed motif. Its olive green is deep and muted, with darker lines giving the colour a shadowed, layered appearance. As the pile changes direction, selected ridges catch a subdued sheen against the more matt areas.

How to use it

Bring this deep olive colour into a reading chair, footstool or sofa for a grounded, enveloping look. Balance the vertically striated velvet with warm timber, aged brass or softly coloured neutral textiles.

Use this deep olive velvet on a statement chair or sofa, where its vertical pile catches the light and adds depth.

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.
