About this fabric

The cloth has a visibly close, textured weave, with the darker yarns creating definition against the softly mottled taupe background. Its pattern sits between wavering stripes and loose oval motifs, giving the surface movement without a sharp geometric edge. The warm brown-beige tone feels grounded and natural, while the charcoal accents add depth and a slightly graphic contrast. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Savane on an occasional chair, headboard or upholstered bench where its warm taupe base can sit comfortably with timber, leather and natural stone. Repeat the charcoal lines through blackened metal or dark trim for a more considered, tailored finish.

A tactile, earthy woven pattern suited to upholstery where its dark organic lines can add depth.

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.
