About this fabric

The fine herringbone structure creates closely spaced, repeating V-shaped lines rather than a bold graphic motif. Brown, grey-taupe and muted light threads blend together, producing a softly mottled appearance that reads warmer and deeper in the denser areas of the weave. The compact pattern and substantial-looking woven face make this colourway best suited to tailored upholstery, where its direction can add understated rhythm without dominating the form. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric, so intended-use suitability should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe-brown colourway on a structured armchair, dining seat or sofa, pairing it with dark timber, aged leather and stone neutrals. The fine vertical chevron will sit comfortably alongside plain cushions while adding close-up texture.

A warm, finely textured upholstery weave that brings subtle chevron movement to tailored seating.

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.
