About this fabric

The colour reads as a mellow cognac brown, with lighter and darker threads creating a gently mottled effect across the surface. Its close, brushed texture catches the light in fine horizontal bands rather than showing a bold pattern. The dense-looking face makes this colourway especially convincing for upholstered furniture, where its warm depth can give a chair, sofa or headboard a grounded presence. No performance features or further technical specifications have been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Helios - Cognac with cream boucle, tobacco leather or darker walnut to emphasise its warm amber-brown character. It also works well as a unifying upholstery shade in rooms with brass, terracotta or other sun-warmed accents.

Use this warm cognac tone to bring depth to upholstered seating while retaining a softly refined look.

Helios - Cognac 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.
