Cloud Porcini

Name: Cloud Porcini

Cloud Porcini presents a pale warm-taupe ground covered in a closely repeated honeycomb of softly raised hexagons. The low-contrast surface gives the colourway a quiet, cushioned appearance while allowing the geometric texture to remain visible.

About this fabric

The warm porcini tone sits between pale taupe and soft mushroom, with subtly shaded edges that define each hexagonal cell. Its repeating geometric pattern is clearly embossed or quilted in appearance, creating a tactile surface rather than a flat printed design. Gentle variations in light across the raised shapes add depth without introducing a strong contrast. With no further performance specifications supplied, its visibly structured, upholstery-weight appearance makes it particularly suited to tailored seating and padded furniture.

How to use it

Use Cloud Porcini on a contemporary armchair, sofa or headboard where its pale mushroom tone can soften sharper architectural lines. Pair it with chalky neutrals, warm timber and brushed metal to draw out the fabric’s understated geometric relief.

A softly dimensional taupe textile that brings quiet geometric texture to upholstered seating and headboards.

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