About this fabric

The surface reads as a compact, even weave, with tiny intersecting threads visible across each horizontal band. Its palette moves from oatmeal beige and muted taupe to dark brown with a charcoal cast, while subtle tonal variation keeps the stripes from appearing flat. The broad bands create a calm, measured rhythm with enough contrast to define an upholstered form. No performance features or further technical specifications are noted for this listing.

How to use it

Use this muted taupe and brown colourway on a structured armchair, bench or headboard where its broad stripes can be appreciated across the form. Combine it with warm wood, chalky beige walls and charcoal accents to echo the swatch’s balanced light-to-dark progression.

A grounded, earthy stripe for upholstered seating, headboards and occasional chairs.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Es Cavalet 1 Fabric without fighting it. 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.
