Poacea Raffia

Poacea Raffia pairs a warm ivory ground with closely repeated sand-coloured leaf sprigs. The soft contrast lets the botanical motif read as texture as much as pattern.

About this fabric

This Scion woven fabric has a substantial 499gsm weight and a 130cm usable width, making it well suited to upholstery. Against the warm ivory ground, the muted sand leaves create a gentle, chalky contrast rather than a sharp graphic effect. The repeating botanical motif measures 16.5cm vertically by 17.5cm horizontally, producing a small, even rhythm across the cloth. Its closely woven surface, listed at 51 threads per centimetre, gives the swatch a tactile visual depth while retaining a calm neutral character.

How to use it

Use this warm ivory and sand colourway on a reading chair, ottoman or headboard where its small leaf repeat can add interest without dominating the room. Combine it with natural timber, oat linens and softly aged metallic accents to reinforce its relaxed, earthy tone.

A warm, quietly textured neutral for upholstered seating, headboards and occasional pieces.

Pairs well with

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