Draughts Mocha

Brand: Zinc Textile

Draughts Mocha is a deep, warm brown woven fabric with a softly articulated draughts check. Its close texture gives the colour a grounded, tactile depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

The surface is densely woven, with fine-scale texture visible across the mocha-brown ground. Subtle shifts between lighter and darker brown define the draughts/check pattern without creating a high-contrast grid. The dark warm tone reads especially rich in the shaded areas, while the weave catches enough light to reveal its structure. No composition, width or performance specification is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Draughts Mocha to upholster a classic armchair, sofa or dining seat where its warm brown depth can anchor lighter timber, cream and natural-toned furnishings. Keep surrounding textiles quiet to let the tonal check and tactile weave provide the visual interest.

The deep mocha tone and tightly textured check bring warmth and quiet structure to upholstered seating.

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