Foss Cinnabar

Foss Linen II FabricF4218-59

Foss Cinnabar shows a warm cinnabar pink with a softly matte finish and a fine, even linen texture. The colour reads gentle rather than bright, giving the swatch a calm, sun-warmed character.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Foss Cinnabar has the natural dry handle and lightly slubbed surface you expect from a plain textile with no visible repeat, making the colour the main feature. The 138cm approximate width and zero repeat support straightforward pattern placement, while the Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code add practical specification detail. In this colourway, the tone sits between coral and blush, with enough warmth to feel inviting but not overly saturated. The weave catches the light softly, so the surface feels breathable and relaxed rather than crisp or glossy.

How to use it

Use Foss Cinnabar to bring a warm accent to neutral upholstery, or choose it for curtains where the pink tone can glow gently in daylight. It pairs particularly well with limestone, oatmeal, and muted terracotta finishes.

A warm, understated pink linen that works easily across cushions, curtains, and light upholstery.

Pairs well with

Foss Cinnabar 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.
