Black Edition

Koba Mehndi

Name: Koba Mehndi
Brand: Black Edition

Koba Mehndi combines a pale beige woven ground with irregular rust-toned geometric marks arranged in a compact, broken repeat. Its visibly tactile surface gives the colourway an earthy, handcrafted character.

About this fabric

The pattern is made up of small, uneven geometric forms, with deep muted terracotta areas interrupting the lighter beige ground. This warm, softened contrast gives Koba Mehndi more depth than a flat printed-looking design, while the woven texture gently breaks up the colour across the surface. No performance features are noted in the supplied catalogue data.

How to use it

Use Koba Mehndi on an occasional chair, headboard or tailored sofa where its muted rust tone can warm a room without becoming overly saturated. Balance it with oat, cream, walnut and other tactile natural textures.

Pair its muted rust and beige tones with natural timber, warm neutrals and textured upholstery.

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