Name: Athne Empress
Brand: Zinc Textile

Athne Empress has a deep blue-green ground that reads almost black in its darkest areas. Irregular, softly outlined contours travel across the surface like elongated woodgrain or dark marbling.

About this fabric

The colourway moves between near-black teal and slightly lighter blue-green traces, creating a cool, atmospheric appearance rather than a bright or saturated one. Broad, uneven lines form a loose abstract pattern with no obvious geometric repeat, while the surface shows a restrained sheen as the light shifts across it. No composition, width or performance specifications are supplied for this fabric, so suitability should be confirmed against the requirements of the intended project.

How to use it

Use the deep teal tone on a statement armchair, headboard or sofa where its shadowy pattern can provide depth without introducing a contrasting colour. It pairs naturally with charcoal, smoked timber, aged brass and other low-lit, richly textured finishes.

Use this near-black teal design to bring atmospheric depth and a quietly luxurious finish to upholstered furniture.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Athne Empress without fighting it. 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.
