Name: Cloud Tangerine

Cloud Tangerine is a richly warm orange textile with a repeating field of softly raised hexagons. Its plush surface gives the pattern a cushioned, almost quilted depth as the light moves across the swatch.

About this fabric

The colour sits between tangerine and burnt orange, with darker shading along the geometric joins and brighter centres that emphasise each hexagon. The close-set honeycomb layout creates a regular architectural rhythm, while the softly lustrous pile keeps the edges from looking severe. Its visibly substantial, velvety handle makes it best suited to upholstery rather than light, fluid drapery. No performance features are noted for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use Cloud Tangerine on a statement armchair, headboard or dining seat where its saturated warmth can anchor a room. Pair it with walnut, aged brass and quieter natural neutrals to balance the strongly coloured geometric surface.

Use this plush burnt-orange geometric for statement upholstery with warm timber and brass accents.

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.
