Odyssey Chocolate is a deep, low-sheen brown plain with a subtly mottled surface that softens the darkness of the shade. The colour reads as warm chocolate rather than black, with gentle tonal movement across the cloth.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a very dark chocolate brown ground with a muted, almost smoke-like variation in the weave that gives the surface quiet depth. It is a practical contract fabric in 100% polyester, with a 50,000 Martindale rating for demanding use. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it is also suitable where fire-compliance is required, with other treatments available on request. The plain design style keeps the focus on the rich tone and subtle texture, making it feel restrained rather than decorative.

How to use it

Use Odyssey Chocolate on banquettes, dining chairs or loose covers where a dark neutral needs to feel warmer than black. It pairs especially well with walnut, bronze and aged leather, and its depth helps lighter cushions or timber accents stand out.

A rich dark brown that feels tailored and works beautifully in contract seating.

Pairs well with

Odyssey 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.
