EQUUS Jacquard in Cocoa combines a deep, earthy brown ground with pale taupe stripes that twist into an arresting animal-inspired composition. The dense, tactile-looking weave gives the pattern visual depth as the bands shift direction across the swatch.

About this fabric

This colourway is defined by warm cocoa-brown depth rather than a flat black-and-white contrast, with soft taupe lines bringing definition to the sweeping zebra-like forms. The large-scale motif moves between tightly rippled stripes and broad, curling bands, creating an almost sculptural effect across the jacquard surface. Its substantial woven appearance makes it best suited to upholstery, particularly on a statement piece where the pattern can be seen clearly. No composition, width or performance figures have been supplied for this exact fabric, so its character here is assessed from the visible weave, weight and colour.

How to use it

Pair the warm cocoa tone with tobacco leather, aged timber and muted oat upholstery for a rich, collected scheme. On a single armchair or footstool, the taupe striping can act as the room’s boldest decorative note without relying on brighter colour.

Use this dramatic cocoa jacquard on a statement chair, ottoman or occasional sofa, balanced with quiet plain textiles.

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.
