Calobra Chestnut

Name: Calobra Chestnut
Brand: Swaffer

Weave Fabric

Calobra Chestnut brings a warm, earthy note to Swaffer’s Weave collection, combining rusted chestnut and pale cream yarns in a tightly repeated geometric design. The close weave gives the surface a visibly tactile, crafted character.

About this fabric

The pattern is formed from repeating concentric diamonds and angled lines, with the cream and chestnut yarns creating a softly broken, almost hand-worked effect. Its warm terracotta-brown tone is lively rather than flat, while the pale threads pick out the geometry and add visual depth. The dense woven appearance makes this colourway best suited to upholstery. No composition, width or rub-test figures have been supplied, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use Calobra Chestnut on a statement armchair, dining seat or compact sofa where its warm rust tone can sit against ivory, sand and walnut. It also works well with aged timber and muted brass, which reinforce the fabric’s earthy depth.

Pair the warm chestnut ground with natural timber, oatmeal upholstery and softly aged brass for a grounded, textural scheme.

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