Turo Eggplant

Turo Eggplant is a richly dark velvet with a wine-red cast, shown in broad folds that reveal subtle shifts between plum, burgundy and near-black. Its smooth surface catches the light along each ridge while the recessed areas remain deep and shadowed.

About this fabric

This Zinc Textile Dvvvelvets colourway is a plain velvet in a saturated eggplant shade, with burgundy warmth visible across the raised folds. The folded swatch shows a smooth, dense-looking pile whose direction creates softly graduated bands of light and shadow rather than a printed motif. Its substantial appearance makes it particularly suited to upholstery where the deep colour can read as enveloping and dramatic. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use Turo Eggplant on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its dark plum-wine tone can anchor a room. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and softly contrasting creams to prevent the near-black folds from feeling too heavy.

Use this deep, wine-toned velvet to bring enveloping colour and a luxurious light-catching finish to upholstery.

Pairs well with

Turo 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.
