About this fabric

The design is made up of tiny cream geometric loops and broken diamond forms, creating a restrained ikat effect across the taupe-grey ground. Its visible weave has a coarse, tactile character, with the raised texture catching light across the creases and flatter areas. The subdued contrast keeps the pattern quiet rather than graphic, making this colourway feel grounded and relaxed. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Riverbank on a relaxed armchair, sofa or dining seat where its cool taupe-grey tone can sit comfortably with stone, chalk, timber and darker brown accents. The small motif also works well across larger upholstered pieces without becoming visually overpowering.

Use this muted taupe-grey ikat to bring tactile pattern and quiet 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.
