About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Flynn Tomato has a dry, natural handle and a visible crossweave that gives the colour subtle movement across the surface. The repeat is vertical 0cm / horizontal 0cm approx, so the design reads as a clean plain rather than a patterned cloth. At 139cm approx wide, it is a practical fabric for upholstery or curtains, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code alongside √BM fire code supports its use in domestic interiors. This tomato shade feels warm and slightly muted rather than bright, with deeper red-brown threads softening the overall finish.

How to use it

Use Flynn Tomato on a chair or sofa to add a rich, warm focal point without a glossy look. It also works well as curtains against pale plaster, stone, or walnut finishes, where the red-terracotta note will feel especially inviting.

Use for tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains where a warm red ground is wanted.

Pairs well with

Flynn Tomato 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.
