About this fabric

This colourway combines muted clay, copper and deep brown tones, giving the geometric repeat a warm, earthy depth rather than a bright or sugary pink cast. Elongated oval rings sit alongside pointed diamonds and small triangular marks, creating a tightly arranged pattern that changes direction across the curved upholstery. The smooth surface catches the light softly, bringing out lighter copper highlights on the seat and deeper brown definition in the folds and edges. The supplied record catalogues this as Fabric and notes no performance features; no composition, width or rub test is provided.

How to use it

Use Mirror Clay as the focal upholstery in a room with warm ivory walls, dark wood and aged brass, allowing its clay and copper tones to set the palette. Keep surrounding textiles relatively plain so the oval-and-diamond geometry remains the main visual feature.

Use the warm clay and copper tones to bring graphic character to a contemporary sofa or statement chair.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Mirror Clay without fighting it. 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.
