Lucca Smoke is a deep smoky taupe textile with a dark, softly mottled surface and a fine granular weave. Its near-charcoal brown tone gives the plain fabric a restrained sense of depth.

About this fabric

The surface is visibly plain, with no motif or directional pattern, while the close weave creates a subtle grain that prevents the dark shade from appearing flat. Lucca Smoke has a substantial 386gsm weight and a 140cm usable width, making it well suited to upholstery applications. Its vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are both 0cm, so the fabric can be planned without pattern matching. The standard length is 30m.

How to use it

Pair this cool-leaning smoky taupe with warm timber, aged leather and soft ivory textiles to balance its dark, grounded tone. It is especially effective on clean-lined sofas, dining chairs and occasional seating where the fine texture can be seen at close range.

Use this deep smoky taupe on tailored upholstery where its quiet, finely textured surface can add depth without introducing a pattern.

Pairs well with

Lucca Smoke 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.
