Minos Epices in Java reads as a tightly textured, peppered surface in warm terracotta, ochre and burnt spice tones. The tiny repeating motif gives it a lively grain and a distinctly woven, tactile character.

About this fabric

This Manuel Canovas fabric is composed of 90% viscose and 10% polyester, with an approximate width of 138cm and a repeat of V 2cm / H 2cm. In this colourway the pattern sits in a warm spice palette, with earthy terracotta, golden beige and deeper rust notes creating a mottled, sunbaked effect. The small repeat keeps the surface visually compact, while the viscose content gives the cloth a gentle softness and a faint, understated sheen. It is a strong choice where you want colour and texture to do the work without introducing a large-scale pattern.

How to use it

This shade works especially well on an upholstered chair or banquette where its warm terracotta base can bring depth to neutral interiors. Pair it with limestone, dark timber and matte brass for a grounded, Mediterranean feel.

Use with warm woods and cream plains to let the peppery colour reading stay rich rather than busy.

Pairs well with

Minos Epices 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.
