About this fabric

Woven in a 43% viscose, 33% cotton and 24% polyester blend, Wicked Sable is designed for upholstery and has a 45,000 Martindale rub test for dependable everyday use. The 137 cm width and H17.5 x V12 cm repeat make the zigzag layout feel regular and well proportioned across larger pieces. In this colourway, the pattern sits on a deep taupe-brown ground with lighter beige-grey highlights, so the contrast reads smart rather than stark. The weave has a dry, tactile finish that softens the geometry and gives the design a tailored, grounded feel.

How to use it

Use Wicked Sable on a sofa, armchair or banquette where the chevron can add rhythm without overpowering the room. Its muted brown-taupe palette pairs well with walnut timbers, smoked oak and warm neutrals.

A grounded taupe chevron that brings quiet structure to tailored seating.

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