Farniente - Brun is a warm brun-brown textile with a close, finely pebbled weave. Darker flecks move through the surface, giving this earthy colourway subtle depth rather than a flat, single-tone finish.

About this fabric

This fabric is catalogued as Outdoor, with Outdoor listed as its performance feature. In the image, brown and near-black threads create a tiny, regular woven texture rather than a printed motif. The warm brown tone feels grounded and relaxed, while the dense visual texture keeps the colour softly varied in changing light. Its compact, visibly substantial weave makes it particularly well suited to upholstery.

How to use it

Use Farniente - Brun on outdoor seat cushions or relaxed upholstery where its warm brown tone can sit comfortably with timber, black metal and natural stone. Pair it with lighter beige or sand textiles to bring out the darker flecks in the weave.

A warm, finely mottled brown weave that brings grounded texture to outdoor seating.

Farniente - Brun 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.
