Tanabe Midnight

Colour 3 Fabrics FabricHAF0196-06

Tanabe Midnight has a deep, cool blue-grey ground with a closely repeated angular pattern running in orderly vertical columns. Subtle tonal variation across the woven surface gives the midnight shade depth rather than a flat, uniform appearance.

About this fabric

This 275gsm woven fabric combines midnight blue-grey tones with interlocking zigzag forms that create a measured, architectural rhythm. The pattern repeat measures 16cm vertically by 23.5cm horizontally, giving the design a noticeable but controlled medium scale. At 140cm wide, Tanabe Midnight offers a practical cloth width for both upholstery and drapery applications. Its dense construction of 151 threads per cm supports the finely textured, closely detailed appearance visible across the swatch.

How to use it

Use Tanabe Midnight on a tailored chair, bench or headboard where its cool blue-grey depth and angular geometry can act as a structured focal point. It can also bring quiet pattern to full-length curtains in a contemporary room with pale stone, charcoal or brushed metal accents.

Use this cool blue-grey geometric weave to bring structured depth to upholstery or curtains.

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