Alaska Espresso is a smooth plain fabric in a rich espresso brown with a quietly tailored look. The close surface reads deep and even, with subtle tonal movement that softens the darkness of the shade.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Alaska Espresso is specified for severe contract upholstery and drapes, and carries a 45,000 severe contract rub test. At 146cm wide and 300gsm, it has the substance expected of a hard-working plain while still looking refined on the roll. The colour is a warm, grounded brown with coffee and cocoa undertones rather than a flat black-brown, giving it a softer depth in the light. Its smooth, low-contrast finish keeps the overall effect smart and understated.

How to use it

Use Alaska Espresso where you want a darker neutral that still feels warm, especially on upholstered chairs, banquettes or structured curtains. It pairs well with pale stone, tan leather and brushed metal for a composed, contemporary scheme.

A dark, versatile neutral that brings depth to tailored seating and elegant drapes.

Pairs well with

Alaska Espresso is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
