Kali Postbox
Arlyn Fabric
Kali Postbox has a rich postbox-red ground enlivened by fine pale yarns that form a broken, closely spaced herringbone texture. Its tightly worked surface gives the colour visual depth rather than a flat block of red.

About this fabric
The fabric is woven with small, irregular diagonal marks that meet in subtle chevron lines across the surface. Pale red and cream-toned threads interrupt the warm red base, creating a softly mottled effect that becomes more apparent up close. The dense, tactile weave reads as a substantial upholstery cloth rather than a light, fluid textile. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.
How to use it
Pair Kali Postbox with aged timber, warm neutrals and brushed brass to balance its earthy red warmth. On a chair, headboard or sofa, the fine herringbone texture adds pattern without overpowering the room.
Use this warm red weave to bring depth and a finely patterned finish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with
Kali Postbox 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.
