Herringbone Rhino is a cool grey-taupe textile with a finely drawn herringbone pattern. Its close weave gives the swatch a neat, quietly textured appearance, while the restrained colour keeps the overall effect understated.

About this fabric

The surface is formed from narrow, closely spaced chevrons, creating a subtle directional texture rather than a bold graphic pattern. In this colourway, grey and taupe threads combine to produce a muted, slightly earthy tone that reads cooler in the lighter areas and deeper where the weave catches shadow. The compact woven structure gives the fabric a tailored, orderly character suited to upholstery. It is catalogued as Fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Herringbone Rhino on a tailored armchair, dining chair or compact sofa where its cool grey-taupe tone can sit comfortably with chalky neutrals, timber and darker metal accents. Turn the direction of the herringbone across cushions or panels to make the fine weave more noticeable.

A cool grey-taupe herringbone that brings quiet structure to upholstered furniture.

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