Chicago Sable

Chicago Fabric

Chicago Sable pairs a tightly woven geometric pattern with a warm sable-brown palette that reads calm and structured. The small herringbone-like texture adds depth without overpowering the surface.

About this fabric

Woven for upholstery, Chicago Sable combines 57% viscose, 23% polyester, 14% cotton and 6% linen in a fabric that feels substantial and refined. The 137 cm width and 30,000 Martindale rub test make it suitable for everyday seating, while the 9 cm horizontal and vertical repeat keeps the chevron geometry crisp and regular. In this colourway, the brown ground is softened by lighter speckled yarns, giving the pattern a dry, tactile look rather than a glossy finish. The overall effect is smart and understated, with enough contrast to show the motif clearly but not so much that it becomes harsh.

How to use it

Use Chicago Sable on a sofa, tub chair or banquette where its brown-on-brown texture can warm up walnut, oak and painted timber. It works especially well with natural linens, leather and muted metal finishes.

A grounded brown that suits tailored seating and adds quiet texture.

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.
