Misc Fabric

Traditional - Hessian is a warm taupe-grey woven ground where fine chevrons repeat in narrow, vertical herringbone columns. Brown and charcoal flecks soften the evenness of the weave, giving the close-up surface a dry, tactile depth.

About this fabric

The closely woven surface is formed from small herringbone marks that create a restrained vertical rhythm rather than a bold, separate motif. Its warm taupe-grey tone sits between brown and grey, with darker threads adding subtle heathered variation across the swatch. The compact texture catches the light in fine diagonal changes, giving the colourway a quietly tailored, traditional character. The catalogue lists this as a fabric, and no performance features are noted for it.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe-grey colourway on an upholstered chair, sofa or relaxed curtain, where its fine vertical herringbone can add texture without introducing strong contrast.

Pair its warm taupe-grey depth with natural timber, stone and understated neutral furnishings.

Pairs well with

Traditional - Hessian 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.
