Manhattan FabricCCF0209-06
Empire Natural combines a warm ivory ground with softly shaded taupe and grey stepped geometry. The close woven surface gives the pattern a gently softened, tactile appearance rather than a sharp printed finish.

About this fabric
At 566gsm, this substantial woven fabric is well suited to upholstery and has a reassuring visual depth. Its warm ivory base is crossed by alternating taupe, mushroom and soft grey stepped bands, creating a muted zigzag rhythm across the face. The pattern repeats every 24cm vertically and 8.5cm horizontally, giving the geometric design a medium-scale presence. With a usable width of 137cm and a standard length of 25m, it offers practical coverage for coordinated upholstery projects.
How to use it
Use Empire Natural on a statement armchair, sofa or bench where its warm ivory ground can lighten the scheme while the taupe-grey zigzags add quiet structure. Pair it with timber, aged metal and tonal taupe cushions to bring out the fabric’s softened, earthy contrast.
A substantial neutral upholstery woven that brings soft taupe-grey geometry to an ivory scheme.

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.
