I just got this 3 seater sofa (France and Son, in-house design, or Grete Jalk, or Finn Juhl)
The upholstery is completely shot. But what color? I really like the blue-green color. (I know the photo makes it look blue, in person it can be blue or green or anywhere in between depending on lighting and angle.) I am thinking about fabric from knoll.
Please advise me!
Thanks

Love it!! Girard fabric will work!
There is a great hopsack like fabric offered by one of the sellers on Ebay,it's a Girard wool/nylon hopsack in nearly a Teal( as it blends blue & Green),maybe what's on your couch right now,but it's darn close and fantastic.Just search Alexander Girard fabric in Ebay and it's there.I don't know how many yards you'd need,though.My Womb chair took 7. Great couch!!

Love that sofa too!
Look at Kvadrat / Maharam fabrics.
Their Divina is well...divine...you're sure to find a similar color.
I have always admired that lovely blue / green upholstery... I have the same model sofa ( but without those fabulous cushioned arms) and was lucky enough to find it in black leather, thankfully I won't have to worry about reupholstering for a while yet...
Good luck!
