About this fabric

Across the swatch, a close small-scale grid creates a softly nubby, almost tiled surface rather than a flat plain. Its base reads as warm grey and pale taupe, interrupted by smoky charcoal marks and restrained blush, rust and blue-grey flecks. The muted, weathered colour mix gives the design quiet depth, while the textured weave catches light unevenly across the checks. No composition, usage, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use the warm taupe-grey ground as a calm foundation for upholstery or curtains, then draw out the swatch’s understated rust and blush notes with cushions, timber or aged metal. Its smoky blue-grey flecks also sit comfortably with cool stone finishes.

Use its warm taupe-grey ground with natural timber, soft stone and restrained rust accents.

Pairs well with

Tobia Multi 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.
