Heir Fabric

Knight Monochrome pairs a warm ivory ground with strongly contrasting black vertical stripes. The close-up reveals softly uneven stripe edges and a tactile woven surface rather than a perfectly printed line.

About this fabric

The alternating black and ivory bands vary subtly in width, giving this colourway a hand-drawn, organic rhythm. Its near-monochrome palette feels crisp and architectural, while the warm ivory prevents the contrast from appearing starkly cold. The visible weave adds gentle surface depth across the broad light areas. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Knight Monochrome where its vertical black-and-ivory rhythm can become a focal point, such as on a statement armchair, dining seat or tailored bench. Pair it with warm timber and restrained neutral upholstery to let the graphic contrast lead.

Use the crisp black-and-ivory contrast to bring graphic definition to an upholstered chair, bench or sofa.

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