Geo 06

Plain Fabric

Geo 06 has a deep smoky plum-brown tone that shifts gently between cocoa, taupe and muted mauve across the folded surface. Its close woven texture catches the light with a restrained, velvety-looking sheen.

About this fabric

The image shows a dense, finely textured plain weave with no visible motif, allowing the nuanced brown-plum colour to take centre stage. Highlights along the folds appear softly silvery-taupe, while the recessed areas deepen towards cocoa and dusky mauve. This tonal variation gives the cloth a quietly dimensional appearance rather than a flat, uniform brown. The supplied record identifies it as a fabric, with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Use this smoky plum-brown on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard where its depth can anchor lighter taupe, stone and warm ivory furnishings. Pair it with aged timber and brushed metal to pick up the fabric’s subtle reflected sheen.

Its deep plum-brown tone and subtle sheen bring warmth and depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Geo 06 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.
