Koba Spice

Name: Koba Spice
Brand: Black Edition

Koba Spice combines a warm camel-spice ground with rows of deep black, irregular ikat-style motifs. Its visibly tactile weave gives the colourway a grounded, graphic character.

About this fabric

The fabric shows a dense woven surface, with fine horizontal and vertical yarn variation visible across the warm spice-coloured ground. Repeated black motifs have softly uneven edges, creating a handcrafted ikat impression rather than a sharply geometric pattern. The dark marks bring strong contrast, while the earthy base keeps the overall effect warm and settled. The supplied catalogue records no performance features or further specification data for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Koba Spice on a statement armchair, ottoman or sofa where its warm spice ground can sit alongside timber, aged leather and natural neutrals. The black pattern adds definition without losing the richness of the earthy base.

A substantial warm-toned weave with an expressive black ikat-style motif, suited to statement upholstery.

Pairs well with

Koba Spice 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.
