Name: Motion Cassis

Motion Cassis is a quiet, earthy colourway with a dusky mauve-brown surface. The close-up reveals a fine woven texture, with slender vertical variations that keep the plain ground from appearing flat.

About this fabric

The colour sits between muted berry and warm brown, giving the swatch a softened depth rather than a bright or highly saturated red. Fine slubbing runs through the surface, creating delicate tonal shifts as the light moves across the cloth. The even, close texture gives it a smart, adaptable appearance for both upholstery and drapery. This item is catalogued as Fabric, with no performance features or further specification data supplied.

How to use it

Use the dusty mauve-brown tone to bring warmth to a neutral room, pairing it with chalky creams, tobacco leather or deeper plum accents. Its restrained texture works particularly well on a tailored chair, bench or full-length curtain.

Its muted mauve-brown tone and fine woven texture suit tailored upholstery, cushions and softly coordinated curtains.

Pairs well with

Motion Cassis 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.
