Plain Fabric

Acer 39 - Tiger is a richly coloured plain weave with the visual warmth of burnished orange. Its tightly drawn grid of yarns gives the surface a quietly tactile, fabric-led character.

About this fabric

The Tiger colourway shifts between vivid orange, russet and tiny red-gold highlights as the woven surface catches the light. A close, even basket weave is clearly visible across the swatch, adding depth without introducing a printed motif. The cloth reads as a versatile mid-weight textile, suitable for upholstery or drapery based on its visible structure. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair the saturated tiger orange with oat, stone or warm grey for balance, or use it as a confident accent against dark timber and aged brass. Its small-scale weave brings texture without competing with patterned furnishings.

Use this warm, saturated orange as a lively accent on upholstery or as textured drapery against calm neutrals.

Acer 39 - Tiger 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.
