Galdana Bison

Weave Fabric

Galdana Bison presents a tightly woven chevron in warm bison brown and soft ivory. Its repeated V-shaped pattern gives the swatch a crisp, directional rhythm, while the ridged weave adds visible depth.

About this fabric

The close-set yarns form a compact, tactile surface, with alternating brown and ivory lines creating a subtly dimensional herringbone effect. The warm brown ground reads earthy and softened rather than dark, with the pale threads catching the light across each chevron. This dense-looking construction makes the fabric visually well suited to upholstery, although no performance features have been noted. The supplied catalogue information identifies it as a Fabric from Swaffer’s Weave collection, with no further specification data provided.

How to use it

Use Galdana Bison on a tailored armchair, dining seat or headboard where its warm brown tone can anchor lighter neutral walls and upholstery. Position the chevron directionally for a more structured, architectural effect.

Use this warm brown-and-ivory chevron to bring tailored texture and gentle contrast to upholstery.

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