About this fabric

MEM117 has a deep smoky-brown, almost espresso tone, with the close-up showing gentle tonal movement rather than a printed motif. Its fine, lightly pebbled surface catches the light softly, giving the faux leather a restrained grain. The 138cm-wide fabric is made from 80% polyurethane and 20% cotton. It is graded for contract, domestic and healthcare upholstery, with professional aftercare and contract flame retardancy listed.

How to use it

Use this near-black espresso brown on upholstered seating where its softly textured surface can add depth without introducing a pattern. Its dark, warm tone works particularly well as an anchoring finish against lighter walls, timber or brushed metal.

Use this deep espresso-brown faux leather to give seating a grounded, polished finish.

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.
