Queneau Cacao

About this fabric

The colour sits between dark terracotta and cacao brown, giving the cloth a rich, grounded presence without appearing bright or saturated. A fine, even surface is visible across the swatch, with delicate tonal shifts that soften the otherwise plain design. The fabric is catalogued in Dedar’s Upholstery fabrics collection, and no performance features or further specification data are supplied. Its substantial-looking, close surface makes it read particularly naturally as an upholstery cloth.

How to use it

Use Queneau Cacao on a statement armchair, dining seat or sofa where its warm rust-brown depth can anchor cream, tobacco, ochre and dark timber accents. Keep surrounding textiles quieter so the subtle surface variation remains visible.

Use this deep, warm cacao tone to bring grounded colour and quiet texture to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Queneau Cacao 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.
