About this fabric

The Hessian colourway reads as a balanced taupe brown, warmer than grey but softer and less saturated than a conventional brown. Fine tonal variation across the surface creates a subtle cloudy effect, while the close texture appears gently brushed rather than glossy. No composition, width, rub test or performance features were supplied for this fabric, so its application should be checked against the intended upholstery project.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe-brown on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its low-sheen texture can soften darker timber and add depth to cream, stone and muted brown schemes.

A warm, understated taupe-brown with a softly mottled surface for tailored upholstery and quietly layered neutral interiors.

Pairs well with

Crush Ii Hessian 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.
