Forma Raffia

Zanzibar Weaves FabricSCF0082-06

Forma Raffia has a softly warm straw-beige ground, enlivened by a tiny, closely spaced geometric weave. The even surface catches the light gently, giving this colourway a calm raffia-like depth.

About this fabric

This 436 gsm woven fabric is suited to upholstery, with a 137 cm usable width and a substantial handle suggested by its dense, regular surface. Fine interlocking marks create a small-scale pattern rather than a bold graphic, while the pale beige-yellow tone keeps the overall effect light and natural. The pattern repeat measures 4.6 cm vertically and 35 cm horizontally, supporting a quietly structured appearance across larger upholstered areas. Supplied in a standard 35 m length, Forma Raffia offers a consistent tonal texture for seating and furniture applications.

How to use it

Use the warm straw-beige colourway on an armchair, sofa or ottoman where its small woven texture can add depth without dominating the room. Pair it with chalky whites, oat tones and pale timber for a relaxed, sunlit scheme.

Its warm straw-beige tone brings light, natural softness to upholstered seating and occasional chairs.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Forma Raffia 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.
