About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric with no performance features noted, this colourway presents a dense-looking woven surface in deep chocolate brown. Tiny V-shaped marks run consistently across the swatch, creating a restrained herringbone effect rather than a bold motif. The near-black ground gives the brown tone a grounded, quietly dramatic character, while faint tonal shifts keep the surface from appearing flat. Its tailored visual quality makes it a natural choice for upholstered chairs and other structured seating.

How to use it

Use this deep chocolate colourway on a tailored armchair, dining chair or ottoman where its fine herringbone adds texture without introducing a strong contrast. Balance the dark tone with warm oak, tan leather or creamy textiles.

Pair this dark chocolate herringbone with warm timber, cognac leather and softly contrasting neutrals.

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.
