Knight Saddle

Heir Fabric

Knight Saddle combines broad, irregular vertical bands of saddle brown and tan with a visibly tactile woven surface. The warm, earthy colour balance gives the stripe a grounded, relaxed character.

About this fabric

The design is formed from uneven vertical stripes, with broad saddle-brown sections alternating with lighter tan bands and finer, darker linear details. Its softly textured surface catches the light unevenly, adding depth to the otherwise directional pattern rather than creating a flat printed effect. The substantial-looking weave and clear stripe structure make this colourway read particularly well as an upholstery textile. No composition, width, rub-test or additional performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Knight Saddle on an occasional chair, headboard or relaxed sofa where its warm brown-and-tan contrast can sit alongside pale walls, woven accessories and mid-tone timber. Keep surrounding patterns quieter so the irregular vertical rhythm remains the focal point.

Use this warm, tactile stripe on relaxed upholstery, pairing it with natural timber, cream linen and earthy accents.

Pairs well with

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