Cape Mohair Tempest

Cape Mohair Tempest is a moody, cool grey mohair blend with a softly brushed surface and subtle tonal movement across the cloth. Its plain weave reads calm and understated, with a depth that gives the shade a storm-cloud feel rather than a flat grey.

About this fabric

Woven in 50% Mohair and 50% Acrylic, this upholstery fabric has the plush, slightly directional surface you expect from a mohair-rich cloth. The plain pattern and 140 cm width make it a practical choice for tailored seating, while the 80,000 Martindale rub test indicates strong durability for everyday use. In Tempest, the colour sits in a cool mid-to-dark grey range with gentle variations in the pile, so the finish feels softened and tactile rather than hard or chalky. That muted, slate-like tone gives the fabric a smart, contemporary edge without looking severe.

How to use it

Use Tempest on armchairs, sofas or banquettes where you want a restrained grey that still has texture and depth. It pairs well with blackened timber, pale oak and crisp white accents, and works especially well in schemes that need a cooler, more tailored anchor.

A dense, cool grey with a soft mohair nap that suits clean-lined seating.

Pairs well with

Cape Mohair Tempest 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.
