Riva Cobble

Name: Riva Cobble

About this fabric

The 406gsm weight gives Riva Cobble a substantial presence suited to upholstery. Its warm grey-taupe colouring sits between stone and mushroom, with a gentle brown cast that becomes more noticeable in the darker woven lines. The surface appears matte rather than glossy, while the fine horizontal weave creates a softly tactile, lightly irregular finish. With a 138cm usable width, 30m standard length and zero vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, it can be planned efficiently across upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use this warm grey-taupe colourway to bring calm depth to a sofa, armchair or upholstered headboard, pairing it with chalky neutrals, dark timber and aged metal for a tailored, grounded scheme.

The warm grey-taupe ground and restrained woven texture suit tailored upholstery, from occasional chairs to sofas and headboards.

Pairs well with

Riva Cobble 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.
