About this fabric

This colourway reads as an earthy, muted olive, shifting between moss, cypress and darker green-brown depths. The dense-looking face has a softly reflective finish, so the shade changes subtly across the swatch rather than appearing flat. Fine horizontal lines run through the irregular tonal texture, creating movement without a separate motif. Its substantial visual weight and restrained colour make it especially convincing on upholstered furniture.

How to use it

Use Armando Cypress on a generous sofa, occasional chair or upholstered headboard where its deep olive tone can anchor a room. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass, ochre and natural linen to draw out the colour’s earthy character.

A deep cypress olive with a softly lustrous, horizontally brushed surface that adds quiet depth to upholstered seating.

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.
