About this fabric

The close, even weave creates a calm plain ground, while delicate horizontal striations add surface interest without forming a distinct motif. Rhino reads as a muted greige-taupe rather than a flat beige, with soft tonal changes visible across the swatch. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature is supplied for this colourway, so those details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use Rhino to soften a room built around pale timber, stone or chalky painted walls; its warm taupe-grey balance can bridge beige and cooler grey furnishings without dominating them.

Its softly striated taupe surface brings quiet warmth to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Orion Iii Rhino 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.
