Kavala Bronze

Alchemy Fabric

Kavala Bronze brings a warm, burnished bronze glow to the Alchemy collection. The hexagonal geometric motif reads crisply against the darker ground, giving the fabric a structured, tailored feel.

About this fabric

This fabric is 140cm wide and made from 56% cotton and 44% polyester, with a 9.4cm pattern repeat and care code BQV1<. The surface shows a textured woven ground in deep bronze-brown, lifted by lighter coppery outlines that trace each hexagon. In this colourway the design feels earthy and slightly metallic, with a rich red-brown depth rather than a bright gold sheen. The repeated geometric pattern is medium in scale, so it has enough presence for statement upholstery without overwhelming a room.

How to use it

Use Kavala Bronze on an armchair, banquette or dining seats where its warm terracotta-bronze tone can sit alongside walnut, leather and aged brass. It also works well in a scheme with olive or taupe textiles to soften the geometric repeat.

Pairs well with warm timber, oxblood accents and muted metallics.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kavala Bronze 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.
