Albany Espresso has a deep, muted brown tone with a subtle plum-taupe cast. Its close plain weave creates a fine crosshatched surface, giving the colour gentle depth rather than a flat appearance.

About this fabric

This Clarke & Clarke fabric weighs 517gsm, and the substantial woven handle makes it well suited to upholstery. The espresso-brown ground shifts softly towards taupe and plum across the surface, while the fine vertical and horizontal threads add restrained texture. With a 139cm usable width and a 40m standard length, it is supplied for larger furnishing projects as well as individual upholstery pieces. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are 0cm, reflecting the continuous plain-woven construction visible in the swatch.

How to use it

Pair Albany Espresso with warm timber, aged leather and softly weathered metals, or use it on a structured chair where its muted brown-plum depth can read as quietly sophisticated.

Use this deep espresso-brown weave to bring quiet warmth and visual depth to tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Albany Espresso 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.
