Ario Sesame

Ario FabricHAF0599-31

Ario Sesame is a softly warm cream textile with a quiet, even surface and a barely perceptible woven grain. Its pale sesame tone reads gentle and lightly sunlit across the swatch.

About this fabric

This 198 gsm fabric has a fine, compact weave that gives the otherwise plain surface delicate horizontal and vertical definition. The 48.5 threads per cm specification is consistent with the swatch’s close, restrained texture, while the absence of a pattern repeat keeps the appearance uninterrupted. At 153 cm wide, Ario Sesame is a versatile mid-weight choice for both upholstery and drapery. Its warm cream colouring is softer and more welcoming than a stark white, bringing quiet depth without introducing a visible motif.

How to use it

Use Ario Sesame to brighten a softly tailored chair or sofa, or make calm full-length curtains where its warm cream tone can catch and diffuse natural light. Pair it with oat, timber and muted earthy shades for a gentle tonal room.

A softly textured warm neutral for tailored upholstery, curtains and relaxed tonal schemes.

Pairs well with

Ario Sesame 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.
