About this fabric
The pale sesame ground is threaded with charcoal-black texture, producing a close, graphic contrast rather than a flat solid colour. Its small-scale loops form narrow vertical channels, while the uneven pile gives the surface a gently nubby, dimensional finish. The dense woven appearance makes this colourway particularly convincing for upholstered seating, where the contrast can read as both patterned and quietly neutral.
How to use it
Pair the warm sesame base with natural timber, dark-stained wood or softened black accents. On a chair or compact sofa, the charcoal flecks will add definition without overpowering the room.
Use this warm, graphic neutral on occasional chairs, benches or cushions where its nubby texture can be appreciated.
Pairs well with
01 Sesame 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.
