Tosca Beech

Name: Tosca Beech
Brand: Mark Alexander

Tosca Beech is shown here as a distinctly two-tone neutral weave, pairing pale oatmeal with charcoal grey. The close view picks out a fine, irregular yarn texture and a crisp horizontal transition between the two tonal fields.

About this fabric

The photograph shows a two-tone woven surface: a pale oatmeal-beige field occupies the upper section, while a charcoal-grey section sits below it. Fine vertical and horizontal yarn definition gives the lighter area a dry, tactile grain, while the darker area reads more peppered and textured. Narrow horizontal lines at the join emphasise the change in tone and the textile’s structured appearance. No composition, width, rub test or other performance specification has been supplied.

How to use it

Use the warm oatmeal tone to soften a tailored chair or headboard, with the charcoal section bringing visual weight and definition. It would sit comfortably with natural timber, dark metal and other quiet neutral upholstery.

A structured two-tone neutral weave, pairing warm oatmeal with grounded charcoal for tailored upholstery.

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