The house has discontinued this one. We are keeping the page so the link still works, but we can no longer order it. There are alternatives below, and if you have a cutting or a photograph we will help you match it.

Modena Monument Grew is a softly mottled plain with a cool grey-taupe cast and a quietly weathered surface. The colour sits between stone and mushroom, with lighter flecks that catch the light across the weave.

About this fabric

Part of the Modena collection by J Brown, this plain fabric is made from 100% polyester and is specified for contract use. It has a high 80,000 Martindale rub test, making it well suited to hard-working upholstery schemes. The image shows a muted grey taupe with subtle tonal variation and a lightly speckled, almost chalked appearance that keeps the surface from reading flat. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it can also be professionally dry cleaned in situ or washed at 40°C, subject to the pattern book guidance.

How to use it

Use this restrained grey-brown tone on banquettes, lounge chairs or contract seating where you want a calm, tailored look. It pairs neatly with pale oak, concrete, black metal and cooler neutrals.

A cool taupe plain that works well on tailored seating and contract schemes.

Pairs well with

Modena Monument Grew 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.
