Magma Sand

Magma Sand is a warm sand-beige plain weave with a fine, closely spaced grain visible across the surface. Its softly variegated tone gives the neutral colourway gentle depth rather than a flat, solid appearance.

About this fabric

The fabric reads as a muted beige with subtle golden undertones, while delicate vertical irregularities and tonal shifts add quiet surface texture. It is woven from 42% linen, 28% viscose, 24% cotton and 6% polyester, with a 132 cm width. A 40,000 Martindale rub test supports its use for both loose and fixed upholstery, as well as curtains and bedspreads. Care is professional dry clean only: do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use Magma Sand to bring a softly warm, natural base to an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard, or let its restrained grain add texture to full-length curtains. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and muted olive or terracotta accents to draw out its sandy warmth.

A warm, quietly textured neutral suited to upholstered seating, curtains, bedspreads and relaxed layered schemes.

Magma Sand is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
