About this fabric

The swatch is a close, finely woven-looking cloth in a muted havane shade, balanced between brown and warm burnt orange. Its surface appears smooth and subtly textured rather than glossy, with gentle tonal variation where the light falls across the weave. The plain construction keeps the colour at the centre of the design, making this a versatile textile for upholstery or drapery where a warm, quietly tailored finish is wanted.

How to use it

Pair Absolu - Havane with cream, oatmeal or deep walnut accents to draw out its tobacco warmth. It would bring enveloping colour to an armchair or sofa, while curtains in the same shade would give a room a softly earthen backdrop.

Use this warm havane tone to add quiet depth to tailored seating, cushions or softly framed curtains.

Absolu - Havane 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.
