Latour Taupe

Latour FabricCCF0086-08

Latour Taupe layers a pale taupe ground with vertical washes of ivory, stone and grey. The softly irregular striations create a weathered, tactile surface with a calm architectural feel.

About this fabric

At 431gsm, Latour Taupe has a substantial textile presence suited to upholstery. The 142cm usable width accommodates its elongated vertical design, while the pattern repeats at 101.5cm vertically and 140cm horizontally. In this colourway, warm greige and taupe are lifted by chalky ivory lines and softened grey accents, giving the pattern depth without a strong contrast. Its standard 40m length makes it practical for larger upholstery requirements where the irregular vertical movement can be shown across broad surfaces.

How to use it

Use Latour Taupe on a statement sofa, headboard or occasional chair alongside warm ivory, pale stone and weathered grey finishes. Its muted taupe base can also soften darker timber or brushed metal without losing the pattern's vertical definition.

Its softly weathered taupe and grey striations bring quiet architectural texture to upholstered seating.

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