Kantha Ochre/Charcoal

Zamora Fabrics FabricHAF0656-02

Kantha Ochre/Charcoal combines warm, earthy ochre with charcoal linework in a tightly arranged sequence of illustrated animal panels. The woven surface gives the small-scale imagery a tactile, grounded presence.

About this fabric

This 500gsm fabric has a 134 cm usable width, making its substantial handle particularly suited to upholstery. The design is built from repeating rectangular panels featuring elephants, zebras, birds, foliage and other stylised animals, picked out in charcoal, black, cream and muted brown against the ochre ground. Its vertical pattern repeat is 23 cm and its horizontal repeat is 134 cm, creating a clearly measured, horizontal rhythm across the cloth. With 44 threads per cm, the surface reads as dense and richly textured rather than light or fluid.

How to use it

Use the warm ochre ground to bring depth to an occasional chair, bench or upholstered headboard, balancing the charcoal outlines with dark wood, tan leather or quiet cream accents. The illustrated panel sequence works especially well where the pattern can be seen across a broad upholstered face.

A substantial, characterful woven for upholstery, with folk-inspired animal panels in warm ochre and charcoal.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kantha Ochre/Charcoal 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.
