Serengeti Fabric

Zambia Silver brings a cool, dark animal pattern to the Serengeti collection, with silver-grey markings sitting sharply against a near-black ground. The close, irregular spots read graphic and energetic rather than soft or blended.

About this fabric

This fabric is 140cm wide and composed of 61% Polyester and 39% Viscose, with care code NQT1<. The compact animal pattern has a small-scale, irregular repeat that feels lively across the cloth, while the metallic-looking grey marks break cleanly over the deep black background. Visually, the colourway sits in a smoky silver grey rather than a bright pewter, so it keeps its contrast without feeling harsh. The surface appears textured and slightly nubby, which gives the motif more depth and makes it suitable for statement seating.

How to use it

Use Zambia Silver on an occasional chair, ottoman or bench where the small-scale pattern can be appreciated up close. It works especially well with black, charcoal and pale stone finishes for a crisp, tailored scheme.

Pair with matte black woods or pale oak to keep the metallic grey spots feeling crisp and modern.

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