Silhouette Aviator Blue

Name: Silhouette Aviator Blue
Brand: Zinc Textile

Silhouette Aviator Blue presents a deep, cool blue ground with an ornate damask pattern traced in near-black lines. Its low-contrast drawing gives the design a moody, architectural character rather than a bright decorative effect.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Silhouette Aviator Blue has a subtly textured surface that gives the dark blue ground gentle depth in the light. Symmetrical scrolling forms and stylised floral motifs repeat across the surface, defined by fine charcoal-black outlines. The restrained tonal contrast keeps the pattern sophisticated, while the dense blue shade gives it a grounded, enveloping feel. No further performance or composition specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this cool aviator-blue colourway with charcoal, ink, smoky grey and aged metal accents. Its outlined damask works especially well on a statement chair, headboard or tailored sofa where the pattern can read clearly without overwhelming the room.

Use this cool, dark blue damask to bring tonal pattern and quiet depth to upholstered seating or occasional pieces.

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.
