Misc Fabric

Herringbone - Tan has a grounded, softly rustic character, combining warm tan and brown threads into a finely textured surface. The close tonal variation gives the colourway gentle depth without making the narrow herringbone motif feel busy.

About this fabric

Viewed close up, Herringbone - Tan combines warm tan and brown threads in a compact, repeating herringbone weave. The narrow chevrons run in orderly vertical bands, giving the surface a tailored rhythm rather than a bold graphic motif. As a catalogued fabric, it is suited to upholstery where this dense-looking woven texture can add quiet structure. No performance features are noted for this listing, so suitability should be checked against the demands of the intended project.

How to use it

Use this warm tan-brown colourway on a tailored chair, sofa or ottoman where its fine chevron texture can provide subtle pattern. Pair it with natural timber, camel leather and softly warm neutrals to reinforce its grounded tone.

A warm tan-brown herringbone that brings tailored texture to upholstered pieces.

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.
