Sula Matcha

Zolani Fabric

Sula Matcha reads as a muted matcha taupe, balancing soft beige warmth with a subdued olive cast. Its close woven surface is visibly flecked and lightly slubbed rather than flat.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Sula Matcha has a close, irregular weave that gives the surface a softly nubby, tactile appearance. The colour sits between warm beige and subdued olive, with fine darker threads and pale flecks breaking up the matcha ground. It reads as earthy and gently weathered rather than bright or leafy, while the short horizontal and vertical slubs add quiet depth.

How to use it

Use Sula Matcha on an armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its muted olive-taupe tone can soften cream, stone and warm timber surroundings. Its understated texture also works well with other natural, quietly tactile materials.

The muted olive-taupe ground and irregular weave bring an earthy, quietly tactile finish to upholstered furniture.

Pairs well with

Sula Matcha 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.
