Mineral Bear is a deep, smoky taupe-brown textile with a quiet, closely woven surface. Its restrained colour and fine crosshatch texture give the plain cloth understated depth rather than a flat, printed appearance.

About this fabric

The shade sits between warm charcoal and muted brown, with subtle tonal variation visible across the tightly woven surface. A fine crosshatch formed by the interlacing threads adds a softly tactile, linen-like character without creating a repeat or overt motif. At 394 gsm and 17 threads per cm, this is a substantial fabric well suited to upholstery. The 143 cm usable width provides practical coverage for furniture projects, while the 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats make matching straightforward.

How to use it

Use Mineral Bear on a sofa, dining chair or ottoman where its smoky brown-taupe tone can ground warmer woods, natural stone and soft cream textiles. Its quiet woven texture also works well alongside charcoal, olive or muted rust accents.

A substantial smoky taupe-brown weave for tailored upholstery, pairing easily with warm timber, stone and charcoal accents.

Mineral Bear 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.
