Metropolis Fabric3229-03
Town in Brique brings a warm brick-red ground to a tightly repeated geometric design. Cream and tan details pick out the interlocking motif, while the close woven surface gives the swatch a softly textured, tactile appearance.

About this fabric
The colour reads as a deep, earthy brique red, warmer and more nuanced than a clear scarlet, with lighter flecks that prevent the dense pattern from appearing flat. Small cream geometric shapes interlock across the surface in a regular all-over rhythm, creating a crisp architectural effect at close range. The weave has a subtly nubby, textile-led texture, and the red ground appears to deepen in the recessed areas between the pale motifs. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.
How to use it
Use Brique on a tailored occasional chair, bench or pair of cushions where its warm red depth can act as the room’s accent. Balance the dense small-scale pattern with plain cream upholstery, natural timber and quieter tan textiles.
Use this warm brick-red geometric weave for tailored upholstery, cushions or structured curtains, pairing it with cream, tan and dark wood.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Town - Brique without fighting it. 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.
