Heir Fabric

Merlon Tangerine brings a rich, warm orange tone to the Heir collection. Its surface is defined by a closely spaced raised grid, with soft shading that gives the colour added depth.

About this fabric

The supplied record identifies Merlon Tangerine as a fabric, with no further composition, width or performance specification provided. In the swatch image, the tangerine orange reads as deep and earthy rather than bright, with lighter threads tracing the small square grid. The subtly plush-looking surface catches the light across each raised line, creating gentle variation between the warm orange squares. This structured texture gives the colour a smart, tactile character for upholstery.

How to use it

Pair this warm burnt-orange colourway with natural timber, tobacco leather or soft cream textiles to balance its depth. It would bring an inviting focal point to a chair, bench or other upholstered accent.

Use the warm tangerine tone to bring depth and inviting colour to upholstered seating.

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