About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, TIGRE has a plush-looking surface that intensifies the contrast between its warm ochre-taupe background and near-black markings. The large-scale tiger pattern shifts from fine broken stripes to broader, brush-like bands, creating a lively directional effect across upholstery. Its earthy golden tone feels rich and enveloping rather than cool, while the black pattern adds graphic definition. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use the warm ochre-taupe ground to bring depth to a reading chair, ottoman or headboard, pairing it with dark timber, aged brass and restrained neutrals so the black tiger stripes remain the focal point.

Use this dramatic ochre-taupe velvet on a statement chair, headboard or sofa against quieter furnishings.

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.
