Dimension Espresso

Arco Fabric

Dimension Espresso brings a sharply ordered geometric pattern to the Arco collection, combining near-black ground with warm espresso-brown forms. Its woven face has a finely lined texture that gives the repeated shapes added visual depth.

About this fabric

The design is built from closely repeated diamond and cube-like forms, creating an optical three-dimensional effect across the surface. Near-black sections provide strong contrast against the espresso-brown blocks, while fine horizontal lines within the lighter shapes make the weave visibly tactile. This is a dark, structured colourway with a warm brown undertone rather than a flat monochrome appearance. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Dimension Espresso on a tailored armchair, sofa or ottoman where its black-and-espresso geometry can act as a strong architectural accent. Balance the deep tones with warm timber, aged brass or softer brown textiles.

A graphic dark weave that gives upholstered seating a tailored, architectural presence.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Dimension Espresso 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.
