About this fabric

The close, even surface has a compact suede-like nap rather than a visible woven motif, giving this colourway a sleek, tactile appearance. Its strong red tone reads warm and dramatic, while the softly mottled light catches prevent the colour from looking completely flat. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric. No performance features are noted in the catalogue information.

How to use it

Use this vivid crimson red on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard, pairing it with warm neutrals, dark timber or brushed metal to balance its dramatic depth.

Use this saturated red suede-look fabric to bring depth and a confident focal point to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Z Suede Dragon 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.
