Area Conker

Area Conker has a deep, warm conker-brown tone that reads richly across its densely gathered surface. The close view reveals an expressive, padded texture with irregular quilt-like folds and softly shaded recesses.

About this fabric

This fabric is shown in a dark russet-brown shade, with subtle tonal variation where the raised folds catch the light and the recessed seams deepen towards chocolate brown. Its surface is heavily sculpted, forming irregular rounded pockets rather than a flat woven pattern, which gives the colour considerable depth. The supplied catalogue identifies it as a fabric, with no performance features noted. The plush, dimensional finish is particularly suited to upholstery where its tactile quilting can remain a visible part of the design.

How to use it

Use Area Conker on a statement chair, banquette or generously shaped sofa, pairing its warm brown-red depth with aged timber, dark bronze and soft cream upholstery accents. Keep surrounding patterns restrained so the irregular padded texture remains the room’s main focal point.

Its rich conker tone and plush, sculptural quilting make it a strong choice for statement upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Area Conker 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.
