About this fabric

The fabric shows interlocking leaf or almond-shaped motifs, each picked out with fine ivory lines against a near-black charcoal ground. Warm ochre-brown centres sit within the motifs, creating subtle contrast without disrupting the dark, composed overall tone. Its visibly substantial, textured weave and dense pattern give the surface a tailored presence well suited to upholstered seating. Directional light catches the raised-looking linear details, adding depth across the folded armchair surface.

How to use it

Use Effie Kohl on a compact armchair, dining chair or footstool where its charcoal depth can anchor a room. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and soft ivory textiles to draw out the ochre accents and lighten the graphic pattern.

A structured charcoal upholstery with crisp ivory geometry and warm ochre leaf accents.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Effie Kohl without fighting it. 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.
