Name: Dawson Chestnut

Dawson Chestnut is a deep, warm brown textile with a softly mottled surface and fine, irregular linear marks. Its layered chestnut tone gives the pattern a quiet, tactile depth rather than a strong graphic contrast.

About this fabric

The dense brown ground shifts subtly between russet, umber and darker chestnut tones, while delicate crosshatch-like lines create a weathered, abstract texture across the face. The 730gsm weight makes this a substantial upholstery choice for seating and other hard-wearing applications. It has a 140cm usable width and a standard 25m length. With zero vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, the surface can be cut without aligning a recurring motif.

How to use it

Pair Dawson Chestnut with warm timber, aged leather and creamy neutrals to emphasise its rich russet-brown warmth. Its low-contrast linear texture also works well on a tailored sofa or statement occasional chair where the colour can provide depth without dominating the room.

Use this deep chestnut upholstery to bring warmth and understated texture to sofas, dining chairs or occasional seating.

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.
