Havana Storm is a softly warm taupe-grey woven fabric with fine horizontal striations running across the surface. Its restrained tonal variation gives the plain cloth visible depth without introducing a motif.

About this fabric

The closely spaced horizontal yarn lines shift between pale taupe, grey and slightly darker charcoal flecks, creating a gently weathered surface. At 400gsm and 275cm wide, it has a substantial presence suited to upholstery. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are 0cm, so the quiet linear texture can be positioned without pattern matching. The standard length is 40m, making it practical for larger upholstery schemes as well as coordinated runs.

How to use it

Use Havana Storm on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its warm grey-taupe tone can soften darker timber and stone finishes. Pair it with chalky neutrals, aged metal and layered natural textures for a composed, understated room.

Use this softly striated taupe-grey weave to bring quiet texture and a tailored finish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Havana Storm 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.
