Serengeti Fabric

Kenya Silver shows a striking silver-grey crackled pattern set against a deep black ground. The effect is bold and graphic, with the metallic-looking yarn catching the light across the irregular, animal-inspired motif.

About this fabric

This fabric is made from 61% polyester and 39% viscose, with a 140cm width and a 39.4cm pattern repeat. In this colourway, the black ground reads very deep and cool, while the silver-grey outline has a soft sheen that lifts the pattern without making it look bright. The irregular network of shapes gives the surface a confident, contemporary rhythm, and the woven texture adds a subtle tactile finish. It feels more refined than rustic, making it well suited to statement furniture where the contrast can be fully appreciated.

How to use it

Use Kenya Silver on an accent chair, ottoman or headboard to bring contrast into a neutral scheme. The silver-grey pattern works especially well with charcoal, glass and brushed metal accents.

Pairs well with pale woods and matte metals for a sharper, contemporary contrast.

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