Raffles Cheetah 5 combines a pale sage-green ground with irregular black cheetah markings, creating a cool, high-contrast animal pattern. The close view shows a tactile woven surface in which the markings have a darker, more textured appearance than the ground.

About this fabric

The colourway reads as soft sage green rather than a bright or yellow green, with the pale base allowing the black markings to appear especially defined. The cheetah pattern varies across the cloth from dense dark spots to lighter, more open shapes, giving the surface a naturally irregular rhythm. Fine diagonal lines are visible through the weave, while the markings and ground catch the light differently to create noticeable tonal depth. With no further specification data supplied, this description is based on the visible woven construction and colour of the swatch.

How to use it

Use Raffles Cheetah 5 on a statement armchair, footstool or headboard where its pale sage ground can soften the impact of the black markings. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass or plain ivory upholstery to keep the cool green tone balanced.

Use this pale sage-green and black animal pattern to bring graphic contrast and tactile depth to an upholstered chair, stool or headboard.

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.
