Tela Italiana Lobster

Fabrics Fabric19

Tela Italiana Lobster is shown here as an uninterrupted field of rich lobster red, without a printed motif or contrasting pattern. Its even surface has a restrained fine grain that gives the colour gentle depth rather than a flat, glossy finish.

About this fabric

The close, consistent weave reads as a dense mid-weight cloth, making this colourway suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Its red is warm and saturated, sitting between classic scarlet and terracotta as the light shifts across the surface. The plain construction keeps the strong colour clean and architectural, while the faint texture softens its intensity. No performance features are noted for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Lobster red on a compact armchair, dining seat or tailored curtain to establish a warm focal point. Balance its saturated tone with chalky neutrals, dark timber or aged brass rather than introducing another bright colour.

A saturated lobster-red plain weave that brings confident colour to upholstery or softly tailored drapery.

Pairs well with

Tela Italiana Lobster 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.
