Wave Fabric

Wave Corn is a warm corn-yellow fabric with a quietly textured woven surface. Fine vertical striations and slight tonal shifts give the colour gentle depth rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The closely woven surface combines soft yellow and golden threads, creating the mellow, sunlit tone visible across the swatch. Fine vertical lines are balanced by a delicate crossweave, giving the plain design a tactile, linen-like character without a pronounced motif. The supplied record identifies this as a fabric, but provides no composition, width or performance specification. Its even texture and warm colour make it a considered choice where upholstery needs subtle visual interest without a busy pattern.

How to use it

Use Wave Corn on a compact sofa, occasional chair or dining seat to bring a muted golden lift to a room. Pair it with chalky neutrals, natural timber and softly aged brass to complement its warm, woven tone.

A warm corn-yellow woven texture that brings gentle colour and understated depth to upholstered furniture.

Pairs well with

Wave Corn 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.
