Carnegie Stone

Animal Kingdom Fabric

Carnegie Stone is a soft, muted taupe with a fine, tonal animal pattern that reads gently across the surface. The small-scale motif gives the fabric movement without disturbing its calm, stone-like appearance.

About this fabric

Woven in 78% polyester and 22% cotton, Carnegie Stone has the practical handle of a fabric suited to everyday interiors while keeping a refined, understated look. The design repeats at 0cm vertically and 4.3cm horizontally, creating a subtle directional rhythm that is visible in the close, compact patterning. Its 140cm width makes it straightforward to plan for upholstery projects, and the surface finish appears dry, textured and softly matt rather than shiny. The colour is a warm, earthy taupe with brown and beige undertones, giving the fabric a grounded, natural feel.

How to use it

Use Carnegie Stone on an armchair, banquette or headboard where its calm taupe tone can soften stronger woods, metals or patterned cushions. It also pairs neatly with chalky off-whites, olive accents and other natural textures.

A quietly textured neutral that works beautifully on tailored seating and pared-back cushions.

Pairs well with

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