Kendisi Sepia

Name: Kendisi Sepia
Brand: Black Edition

Kendisi Sepia is a warm, muted brown weave with tiny pale flecks forming a finely repeated, almost chequered surface. Its close texture gives the colour gentle depth, shifting between sepia, taupe and soft cream across the swatch.

About this fabric

The surface is densely patterned with small, irregular woven motifs arranged in broken vertical lines, creating a subtle geometric rhythm rather than a bold repeat. Sepia brown dominates, while lighter threads catch across the raised texture and stop the shade from reading as flat or overly dark. The compact weave has a softly nubby, tactile appearance that suits the visual weight of upholstery. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Kendisi Sepia to upholster a compact sofa, dining chair or occasional chair where its warm brown depth can sit comfortably with ivory linens, aged brass and walnut timber.

Use this warm sepia weave on tailored seating, balanced with cream, tobacco and dark timber accents.

Kendisi Sepia 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.
