About this fabric

Part of the Rivoli III collection by Manuel Canovas, Rivoli Castor is composed of 93% cotton and 7% modal, with a width of approximately 140cm and a vertical/horizontal repeat of 0cm, which suits its plain appearance. The fabric reads as a very dark chocolate brown, warmed by faint reddish undertones and softened by the cotton-modal blend. In the image, the surface looks smooth rather than shaggy or glossy, with a fine weave that catches light gently instead of reflecting it strongly. With no performance features noted, it feels like a refined decorative fabric for schemes that need depth without pattern.

How to use it

Use this colourway to ground lighter linens, travertine, or oak, where the brown depth can add warmth without looking black. It is especially effective on tailored upholstery or structured curtains when you want a smart, cocooning finish.

A rich, versatile brown that works beautifully on tailored seating or full-length curtains.

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.
