Name: Sabi Wilderness
Brand: Mark Alexander

Sabi Wilderness appears as a muted taupe-beige textile, with pale and darker threads creating a softly weathered field. The close view shows a compact woven texture rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

As a catalogued fabric, it is shown here as a fine, even weave with tiny crosswise and lengthwise variations visible across the surface. Its greige-taupe base stays subdued, while lighter threads catch across the cloth and prevent the colour from reading flat. No composition, width, performance or rub-test information has been supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use its softened taupe tone to bring quiet depth to a neutral seating scheme, or repeat the woven texture at the window for a gently layered room. It would sit comfortably with chalky whites, warm timber and other low-contrast natural shades.

A softly textured greige-taupe neutral for calm, layered upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

Sabi Wilderness 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.
