Orion Iii Tobacco

Orion III Tobacco is a deep, warm tobacco brown with a softly brushed appearance. Fine horizontal striations move across the surface, giving the plain ground quiet depth rather than a printed pattern.

About this fabric

The close, even surface has a gentle nap or fine woven grain that catches the light in slightly lighter and darker bands. Its tobacco colouring sits between rich brown and muted ochre, creating a grounded, autumnal impression without becoming orange. Catalogued as a fabric, this colourway is visually suited to upholstered furniture where its low-key texture can be seen across a larger surface. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use this warm tobacco brown on a generous armchair, headboard or sofa to bring earthy depth to a room. Pair it with parchment neutrals, dark timber and aged brass to draw out its muted ochre warmth.

A warm tobacco tone with subtle horizontal texture and a softly light-catching surface for upholstered furniture.

Pairs well with

Orion Iii Tobacco 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.
