About this fabric

This fabric is woven in a deep clove brown, with alternating lighter and darker yarns forming a very small, regular checker structure. The surface appears substantial and closely constructed, making it best suited to upholstery rather than fluid window treatments. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric, so suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended piece.

How to use it

Use Tesseract Clove on a generously shaped chair, footstool or sofa where its warm brown depth can anchor a room. Pair it with natural timber, aged leather and warm neutral textiles to draw out the colour variation in its small-scale weave.

The warm clove-brown ground and finely repeated checker weave bring understated texture to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Tesseract Clove without fighting it. 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.
