Knight Tobacco

Heir Fabric

Knight Tobacco combines a rich tobacco-brown ground with uneven vertical cream stripes. Its visibly nubby weave gives the colourway a softly tactile, organic appearance.

About this fabric

The woven surface is dominated by a warm tobacco-brown tone, with irregular cream lines running vertically through the design. Stripe widths shift from fine threads to broader bands, creating a relaxed rhythm rather than a precise pinstripe. A short, nubby texture gently breaks up the contrast and catches the light across the surface. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Knight Tobacco on an upholstered chair, headboard or sofa where its warm brown depth can anchor a room. Pair the irregular cream striping with natural timber and quiet neutral textiles to keep the look relaxed.

The warm tobacco ground and irregular cream striping bring an easy, textured character to upholstered seating.

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