Valante Tusk

Name: Valante Tusk
Brand: Black Edition

Valante Tusk is a pale, warm taupe textile with a softly weathered appearance. Fine grey-beige variation moves across the surface, giving this quiet neutral more depth than a flat plain weave.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a fine woven texture layered with irregular, low-contrast flecks in stone, beige and soft grey. Its light taupe ground reads warm in the image, while the cooler grey threads prevent the colour from feeling yellow or overly creamy. The all-over texture remains subtle rather than graphic, making the fabric visually calm at a distance while retaining interest close up. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Valante Tusk to soften a pale, pared-back scheme with warm taupe seating, or pair it with chalky whites, natural timber and soft grey accents. Its restrained mottling also suits simple curtains where a little surface depth is wanted without introducing a bold pattern.

A softly mottled taupe neutral that brings subtle woven depth to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

Valante Tusk 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.
