About this fabric

This Conchiglia/Carbonio colourway reads as a warm taupe-brown ground, peppered with densely packed charcoal-black flecks. Across the face, the tiny irregular marks create a near-pebbled field rather than a directional motif. Its chenille construction gives the swatch a soft-looking, raised visual texture, while the close scale keeps the surface composed from a distance. Catalogued as a Fabric in Dedar’s Chenille fabrics collection, it is especially well suited to upholstery where this nuanced neutral can be seen up close.

How to use it

Use the warm taupe-brown base on an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard, pairing it with dark timber, charcoal accents and soft cream textiles. Its fine charcoal flecking also makes it easy to coordinate with deeper brown and muted stone tones.

A warm taupe-brown chenille with dense charcoal flecks, bringing subtle depth to upholstered furniture.

Pairs well with

Sottosopra Conchiglia/Carbonio 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.
