A Tiger In The Orangerie Fauve

Name: A Tiger In The Orangerie Fauve
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 001

A warm fauve-brown ground gives this velvet a distinctly autumnal depth, while irregular charcoal-black bands branch out from a dark vertical stem. The close-up shows a softly textured surface whose nap subtly varies the orange-brown tone.

About this fabric

This colourway is catalogued as a Velvet from Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection, with no performance features noted. Its rusted orange-brown field feels deep and earthy rather than bright, allowing the dark charcoal motif to read with strong contrast. A central vertical line anchors the design, with uneven, hand-drawn-looking bands extending sideways like branches or tiger markings. The visible pile catches the light gently across the surface, adding tonal variation without softening the graphic pattern.

How to use it

Use this warm burnt-orange and charcoal colourway on a statement armchair, ottoman or compact sofa, pairing it with dark timber, aged brass and quiet brown textiles to reinforce its rich autumnal mood.

A warm fauve ground and charcoal branching motif bring graphic, autumnal character to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside A Tiger In The Orangerie Fauve without fighting it. 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.
