Mercury Spice

Equinox 2 Fabric FabricCCF0290-04

Mercury Spice pairs a pale oat background with fine terracotta lines arranged in a tightly repeating maze of stepped angles. The warm, softened contrast gives the geometric surface a calm, tactile presence.

About this fabric

The close-set angular pattern forms continuous stepped paths in muted spice, coral and terracotta tones against a light oatmeal ground. A subtle woven texture is visible across the 330gsm cloth, giving the small-scale geometry a softly dimensional finish rather than a flat printed appearance. With a 137cm usable width, Mercury Spice is suitable for upholstery and drapery applications. Its 3cm vertical repeat and 2.8cm horizontal repeat keep the pattern compact and consistent across the 40m standard length.

How to use it

Use Mercury Spice to bring a warm, softened terracotta accent to an otherwise neutral scheme, particularly on occasional upholstery, cushions or curtains where its small maze pattern can read as texture as well as geometry.

Use the muted terracotta geometry to add warm, graphic definition to upholstered seating, cushions or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

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