About this fabric

The dense motif is made up of uneven rounded and branching cells, creating an animal-skin-like rhythm without appearing literal. Khaki olive, deep brown and softened taupe sit closely together, producing a cool, earthy colourway with considerable visual depth. The close, textured weave visible in the swatch gives this textile fabric a substantial appearance suited to upholstery. Light catches the raised-looking pale outlines, helping the pattern remain legible across the dark ground.

How to use it

Use Kaki on a statement armchair, headboard or occasional seat where its muted olive depth can anchor warm timber, aged leather and natural stone. Keep surrounding textiles quieter so the intricate brown-and-taupe cell pattern remains the focal point.

Its deep khaki ground and organic cell pattern bring a textured, quietly dramatic accent to upholstered seating.

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.
