Zena Natural

Florentina Fabric

Zena Natural shows a small-scale chevron pattern in softly layered natural tones, with oat, sage and warm flax accents sitting over a pale ground. The weave gives the surface a gently textured, tailored look rather than a flat print.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as calm and mineral, with muted sage-grey zigzags broken up by warmer biscuit and golden-ochre notes. The 20cm vertical and 17.9cm horizontal repeat keeps the chevron rhythm clearly defined, while the woven texture softens the geometry. At 145cm wide, the cloth has useful breadth for both furnishing and window schemes. Its 55% viscose, 25% cotton and 20% polyester composition suggests a fabric with a pleasing handle and a neat, practical finish for everyday interiors.

How to use it

Use Zena Natural to bring quiet structure to an upholstered chair, bench or headboard without overpowering a room. Its muted sage-and-oat palette sits well with pale woods, stone, linen and brushed brass.

A quiet chevron weave that works well on tailored upholstery or soft curtains.

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