15 Rabbit

Rochelle Fabric15

Rochelle 15 Rabbit has a softly muted taupe-grey ground, layered with fine darker and lighter threads that create a gently irregular woven surface. Its close crosshatch texture gives the colour quiet depth rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The visible weave combines slender horizontal and vertical threads in warm grey, beige and charcoal-grey tones, producing a natural rabbit-grey effect. Small irregularities across the surface catch the light subtly, giving the fabric a tactile, tailored appearance without a pronounced motif. The structured texture makes this a versatile choice for upholstery and drapery applications. No composition, width or rub-test rating has been supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use this subdued taupe-grey on a contemporary armchair, dining seat or simple curtain where its gently mottled surface can soften sharper architectural lines. Pair it with chalky neutrals, weathered timber and charcoal accents to bring out the weave’s quiet tonal variation.

A softly mottled taupe-grey weave with a calm, tailored feel for upholstery, cushions and relaxed window treatments.

15 Rabbit 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.
