Henri Praline brings the Visage Collection’s line-drawn faces into a rich praline brown ground with a pale contrasting outline. The overall effect is graphic and expressive, with the motif reading clearly across the cloth.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester and specified for drapes only, Henri Praline has a practical body with a smooth, fabric-hand surface that suits statement window dressing. The warm brown ground sits between cocoa and taupe, while the pale sketch-like lines lift the pattern and keep it from feeling heavy. Its conversational, geometric/abstract design repeats at 42cm vertically and 35.5cm horizontally, creating a bold all-over rhythm. At 140cm wide and 342gsm, it has enough substance for full-length curtains and decorative drape panels. Made in India, it combines a tailored look with an easy-going, modern mood.

How to use it

Use Henri Praline for curtains in rooms with walnut, oak or leather accents, where the brown ground will feel grounded and inviting. It also works well against warm whites and muted metallic finishes, letting the linear faces become the focal point.

Pair with taupe linens or soft metallics to let the line-drawn faces stand out.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Henri Praline 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.
