About this fabric

The colour reads as a deep clove brown, with lighter and darker threads creating understated tonal movement across the surface. Fine horizontal lines run through the weave, while the softly brushed-looking texture prevents the shade from appearing flat or glossy. This is a fabric SKU catalogued for upholstery; no performance features or further specification data have been supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use Orion III Clove on a tailored chair, sofa or bench where its warm brown tone can anchor cream, rust, tobacco and aged timber tones. The restrained horizontal texture adds depth without introducing a separate pattern.

A warm clove-brown ground with fine horizontal texture, suited to tailored upholstery and layered earthy schemes.

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.
