About this fabric

At 429gsm, Kuba Zinc has a weighty woven presence suited to upholstery, with 84 threads per centimetre adding visible structure to the cloth. Angular charcoal-black bands trace repeating diamond and chevron forms across the zinc-grey ground, while lighter blue-grey and stone details give the pattern depth without making it feel bright. The design has a 16cm vertical repeat and a 44cm horizontal repeat, creating a clearly ordered rhythm when aligned across a piece. Its 132.5cm usable width provides practical coverage for upholstery projects, and the standard length is 40 metres.

How to use it

Use Kuba Zinc on a tailored chair, bench or sofa where its cool zinc ground and charcoal geometry can act as a graphic focal point. Pair it with pale grey, mineral blue and warm stone upholstery accents to draw out the quieter tones in the weave.

A substantial cool-grey geometric woven that brings crisp charcoal structure to upholstered seating.

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