Dentella Brass

Colour 2 Fabrics FabricHAF0256-03

Dentella Brass has a warm, muted brass-taupe ground scattered with a fine, branching pattern in a closely related pale tone. The small-scale motif creates a softly textured appearance rather than a high-contrast graphic effect.

About this fabric

This 542gsm fabric has a substantial woven presence, while its closely spaced organic marks give the surface visual depth without overwhelming the brass-taupe colourway. The warm beige-gold tone reads softly in the light, with the lighter motif lifting the dense all-over pattern. A 35cm vertical and 35cm horizontal repeat keeps the design consistent across upholstered panels. The fabric has a 137cm usable width, a 25m standard length and 107 threads per centimetre.

How to use it

Use Dentella Brass on a statement chair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its warm brass-taupe tone can sit alongside cream, stone, walnut and aged brass. The small repeating pattern also works well with larger plain cushions and textured neutral flooring.

Use this muted brass-taupe upholstery with warm neutrals, natural wood and softly aged metallic accents.

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