About this fabric

The Bonfire colourway sits between burnt orange and earthy brown, giving the surface a deep, ember-like warmth rather than a bright orange appearance. Its close, softly brushed texture catches the light in subtle changes across the swatch, while the overall face remains plain and even. Catalogued as a fabric, it has no additional performance features noted in the supplied information. The visible weight and napped handle make it best suited to upholstery, particularly where its rich colour can be appreciated across a larger form.

How to use it

Use Nova Fr Bonfire on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard, pairing its warm rust depth with tobacco leather, dark timber and creamy neutrals. The subdued sheen also gives plain cushions and occasional seating a more layered, luxe finish.

Its deep, warm Bonfire tone and softly napped surface bring enveloping colour and subtle light-play to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Nova Fr Bonfire 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.
