Takao Malva
Muoto Fabric
Takao Malva combines muted mauve-taupe shading with a strongly tactile, raised rib. Its geometric blocks shift direction across the folded surface, giving the colourway visible depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric
Catalogued as a fabric in the Muoto Black Edition collection, Takao Malva has no performance features noted in the supplied data. The surface is defined by closely spaced raised lines that run vertically, horizontally and diagonally within broad geometric sections. Its central tone reads as a warm, dusty mauve-brown, while pale greige highlights catch along the curved fold and soften the darker ribbed areas. The substantial-looking weave and pronounced relief make this colourway particularly convincing for upholstered furniture.
How to use it
Use Takao Malva on a structured armchair, headboard or compact sofa where its muted mauve-taupe tone can bring warmth without becoming sweet. Pair it with chalky stone, deep brown wood and brushed metal to echo the contrast between its dark ribs and pale folded highlights.
A substantial ribbed geometric texture whose muted mauve-taupe tone suits tailored upholstery and quietly layered interiors.

Pairs well with
A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Takao Malva 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.
