Duo 211

Weave Fabric

Duo 211 is a restrained taupe-grey woven fabric with a finely textured surface. Its closely interlaced threads create subtle depth through small charcoal and pale flecks rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

The compact weave reads as a balanced mix of warm mushroom taupe, soft grey and darker thread detail, giving the surface a gently mottled appearance. Light catches the tiny raised intersections across the cloth, adding texture without making the colour feel busy. Its dense, even construction makes it visually well suited to upholstered seating. No composition, width, rub-test rating or additional performance features are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this softened taupe-grey on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its small-scale texture can temper stronger colours and patterned cushions. It works especially well with natural oak, limestone and deep charcoal details.

Pair this quietly mottled taupe-grey weave with warm timber, stone and charcoal accents for understated upholstery.

Pairs well with

Duo 211 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.
