About this fabric

The pattern is arranged in repeating vertical columns, with stepped zigzags, angular symbols and broken horizontal marks rather than a perfectly uniform geometric repeat. Its warm taupe and brown base is interrupted by faded red and terracotta accents, while darker flecks add definition between the motifs. Uneven edges and tonal variation across the surface create a softly distressed appearance, allowing the colourway to feel collected rather than stark. The substantial-looking, textured presentation makes it particularly convincing for upholstery where its layered pattern can bring depth to a chair, headboard or sofa.

How to use it

Use Odyssey Samimi on an occasional chair or statement sofa against warm plaster, walnut or aged timber. Pick up its muted brick-red details with plain cushions or piping in terracotta, rust or deep brown.

Use this weathered taupe-brown ground with warm timber, aged leather and muted terracotta accents.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Odyssey Samimi 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.
