About this fabric

The close woven surface is filled with small ivory and muted pink-beige flecks, distributed like fine pumice across the darker ground. Rather than reading as flat grey, the warm taupe base shifts gently through the weave, giving the swatch subtle depth. The granular texture feels relaxed and tactile, while the restrained palette keeps the overall effect understated. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Ember Pumice with warm whites, chalky blushes and natural timber, where its taupe-grey base and pale mineral flecks can soften contemporary upholstery. It would also sit comfortably alongside deeper charcoal or earthy brown accents.

Use this warm taupe-grey colourway to add quiet mineral texture to contemporary seating and layered neutral schemes.

Ember Pumice 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.
