About this fabric

This is a velvet fabric with a richly warm tobacco tone, threaded through with charcoal-brown geometric lines that form angular, abstract pathways. The close-up reveals a subtly striated surface, giving the ground a tactile, softly brushed appearance rather than a flat block of colour. The medium-scale pattern balances rounded, irregular shapes with sharp directional lines, creating a considered graphic effect. As a velvet, it is particularly well suited to upholstery where its depth of colour and tactile surface can be seen at close range.

How to use it

Use Darwinista Tabacco on a reading chair, compact sofa or upholstered headboard in a room with aged wood, cognac leather and warm neutral walls. Its earthy brown base makes the dark linear pattern feel grounded and sophisticated rather than stark.

Use this warm, graphic velvet to bring depth and pattern to upholstered chairs, sofas or statement cushions.

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.
