Calobra Tumeric

Name: Calobra Tumeric
Brand: Swaffer

Weave Fabric

Calobra Tumeric is a richly coloured woven textile built from repeating diamond motifs in golden turmeric and soft cream. Its raised, yarn-led surface gives the pattern a tactile depth rather than a flat printed appearance.

About this fabric

The colourway combines saturated turmeric yellow with cream, creating a warm, sunlit contrast across the interlocking diamond design. Close-up, the surface shows pronounced diagonal yarns and small irregularities that soften the geometry and make the weave feel tactile. The dense, structured appearance is well suited to upholstery, particularly where a piece needs both colour and visible texture. No performance features are recorded in the supplied specification, so the defining qualities here are the woven construction, warm tone and dimensional pattern.

How to use it

Use Calobra Tumeric on an occasional chair, headboard or compact sofa where its golden tone can act as a confident focal point. Pair it with warm ivory, natural timber and restrained clay or brown accents to echo the cream-and-turmeric palette.

Use this warm turmeric-and-cream geometric weave to add tactile pattern and golden depth to upholstered seating.

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