Carrera Chocolate is a richly speckled plain in warm cocoa brown, with a softly mottled surface that gives the colour extra depth. The close-up weave reads tactile and grounded rather than flat.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a warm chocolate-brown ground lifted by lighter biscuit and taupe flecks, creating a quiet heathered effect across the surface. The texture appears tightly woven and slightly nubby, which suits the fabric’s 100% polyester composition and contract usage. With an 80,000 Martindale rating, Carrera is built for hard-working seating and other high-traffic applications. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and can be professionally cleaned in situ or washed at 40℃, subject to the full pattern book instructions. The overall look is smart, tonal and practical, with enough visual movement to soften large upholstered areas.

How to use it

Use this cocoa shade on banquettes, dining chairs or reception seating where a warm neutral is needed without looking flat. It pairs neatly with timber, tan leather and muted stone finishes.

A versatile cocoa plain that brings warmth and depth to contract seating.

Pairs well with

Carrera Chocolate 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.
