Curtis Calypso

Elliott Fabric

Curtis Calypso has a cool, smoky teal-blue ground with a closely flecked surface that gives the colour gentle variation rather than a flat finish. The dense weave reads tactile and substantial in the close-up swatch.

About this fabric

Fine pale and darker yarns are interwoven across the teal ground, creating a small-scale, irregular fleck that softens the depth of the blue-green shade. The colour feels muted and mineral-like, with a subtle contrast that becomes more apparent as the textured surface catches the light. Its compact woven appearance is well suited to upholstery, where the even texture can bring quiet character to a chair, sofa or headboard. No composition, width or rub-test information is supplied for this SKU, and no performance features are noted in the supplied data.

How to use it

Pair this smoky teal with warm ivory, chalky stone and pale timber to balance its cool cast, or use it against rust and ochre accents for a more colourful scheme. Its restrained fleck makes it especially effective on tailored seating where the blue-green tone remains the main visual feature.

Use this cool, smoky teal on tailored upholstery, headboards or accent seating where its fine flecked weave can add quiet 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.
