About this fabric

This swatch has a dense-looking, plain surface rather than a visible motif, with a fine mottled effect created by the direction of the nap. The colour sits between caramel and tobacco brown, giving it a warm, grounded presence without appearing stark or highly saturated. No composition, width, rub-test or performance specification is supplied for this fabric, so those details should be confirmed before ordering for a particular project.

How to use it

Use this warm Havana brown on a sofa, occasional chair or upholstered headboard where its softly changing nap can add depth to otherwise simple forms. Pair it with oat, natural linen, tobacco and muted brass tones for a layered, enveloping scheme.

The warm Havana brown and softly shifting surface bring depth to upholstered seating.

Nova Fr Havana 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.
