Pivot Taupe/Onyx

Esala FabricSCF0015-01

Pivot Taupe/Onyx pairs a pale, softly mottled taupe ground with a sharply drawn onyx lattice of repeating diamonds. The restrained contrast gives the geometric design a cool, architectural character without making the surface feel harsh.

About this fabric

The pattern is formed from dark charcoal lines that cross into small diamonds and elongated angular links, with the regular repeat clearly visible across the swatch. A fine horizontal texture runs through the taupe ground, subtly breaking up the flatness of the pale shade and catching the light unevenly. This fabric has a 189 gsm weight and 264 threads per cm, with a 139 cm useable width. Its pattern repeat measures 16.2 cm vertically by 17 cm horizontally, and the standard length is 50 m.

How to use it

The muted taupe-and-onyx balance works well with chalky neutrals, weathered timber and blackened metal. Use the medium-scale lattice on contemporary upholstery or structured curtains where its clean geometry can remain legible.

Use the soft taupe ground to soften the crisp charcoal lattice on seating, cushions or tailored window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Pivot Taupe/Onyx 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.
