About this fabric

This plain fabric has a softly variegated finish that gives the Spice colourway extra movement, with lighter amber flecks breaking through the richer burnt-orange ground. The 100% polyester composition and 80,000 Martindale rub rating make it well suited to contract upholstery, while the back-coated cigarette and match resistance to BS5852 adds practical reassurance. The visible texture reads as a close, lightly napped weave rather than a flat solid, so the colour feels layered and inviting instead of uniform. Professional dry clean in situ or washable at 40°C care options make it a versatile choice for busy interiors.

How to use it

Use it on banquettes, dining chairs or occasional upholstery where the warm rust tone can add character without overwhelming the room. It pairs especially well with timber, aged brass and earthy neutrals that echo the fabric’s copper-brown depth.

A warm rust tone that brings depth and richness to tailored seating.

Pairs well with

Modena Spice 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.
