Marabou Smoke

Name: Marabou Smoke
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 002

Marabou Smoke has a quiet, smoky taupe-grey appearance, enlivened by fine vertical movement across the woven surface. Its close, tactile texture gives the plain colourway gentle depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The swatch combines cool grey with a restrained brown-taupe cast, creating a softened, weathered tone that changes subtly as the light catches the weave. Fine vertical threads and minute tonal variation are visible throughout, while the surface has the dense, softly tactile character associated with chenille. The supplied record lists no performance features or additional specifications, so this page reflects the appearance of the sample rather than assigning technical ratings.

How to use it

Use Marabou Smoke on a relaxed upholstered chair, sofa or headboard where its smoky taupe-grey tone can sit comfortably beside chalky whites, warm timber and darker charcoal accents. Its subdued vertical texture also works well as a calm counterpoint to patterned cushions.

A softly mottled smoky taupe-grey weave with subtle vertical movement, suited to understated upholstery.

Pairs well with

Marabou Smoke 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.
