Modena Fabric13925

Modena Truffle is a deep, earthy brown with a subtly mottled surface that gives the plain cloth extra depth. The finish reads warm and grounded, with lighter tan flecks lifting the darker truffle base.

About this fabric

This colourway sits in a rich truffle brown palette, with a soft, weathered-looking surface that catches the light in uneven golden-brown speckles. It is a plain design from the Modena collection, and the visible texture gives it a more characterful feel than a flat solid. Made from 100% polyester, it is specified for contract use and offers a robust 80,000 Martindale, making it well suited to hard-working upholstery. The fabric is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and after care includes professional dry clean in situ or washable at 40°C, subject to the pattern book guidance.

How to use it

Use this truffle tone to anchor a sofa, banquette or feature chair where you want warmth without glare. It pairs especially well with walnut, brass and textured linens, letting the brown base read rich rather than heavy.

A rich, warm neutral that works well on tailored upholstery and grounded contract schemes.

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.
