Hackney Papaya

Hackney Papaya is a warm, saturated orange textile with a fine woven texture that gives the colour gentle depth rather than a flat printed appearance. Its even surface reads as a versatile plain from a distance, while the close yarn structure becomes visible up close.

About this fabric

The colour sits between ripe papaya and burnt orange, bringing a sunny warmth without becoming bright yellow. Fine vertical and horizontal yarns form a subtle crosshatch across the face, with slight tonal variation that softens the intensity of the orange. The weave appears compact and even, with a restrained low sheen that keeps the surface feeling relaxed. With no further performance or composition specification supplied, its suitability here is judged from the visible mid-weight woven construction.

How to use it

Use Hackney Papaya to bring focused warmth to a reading chair, bench or full-height curtain, then temper its saturated orange with chalky cream, pale timber or muted olive.

Use this warm papaya orange as a lively accent on upholstery, curtains or cushions, balancing it with natural timber and soft neutrals.

Pairs well with

Hackney Papaya 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.
