Foreman III is a warm stone-grey textile covered in curling botanical forms, creating a softly layered damask effect. Its close, tactile weave gives the muted colour gentle depth rather than a flat appearance.

About this fabric

The swatch combines warm grey, taupe and charcoal-like tonal variation in a detailed botanical pattern of curling leaves and scrolling stems. The woven surface appears subtly raised, allowing the foliage to catch the light while the darker ground keeps the overall impression restrained. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use this warm stone-grey colourway on a traditional armchair, sofa or dining seat where its formal foliage can add pattern without introducing a strong colour. Pair it with chalky neutrals, aged timber and darker grey accents to draw out the design’s tonal depth.

A warm stone-grey damask that brings quiet pattern and tailored depth to upholstered seating.

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.
