Ellice Cypress

Name: Ellice Cypress
Brand: Zinc Textile

Ellice Cypress has a muted cypress-green ground with a weathered, finely scored surface. Dark olive irregular lines break across the face, giving the colour a softly aged depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

The close all-over texture resembles a delicate network of cracks and worn marks, with vertical and horizontal lines shifting subtly across the olive field. Its low-contrast pattern reads as a surface texture from a distance, while the darker flecks and fissures become more apparent up close. The fabric has a substantial-looking woven appearance that makes it particularly suited to upholstery. No composition, width, rub-test or performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair Ellice Cypress with warm timber, aged leather and natural stone for a grounded, organic scheme. Its subdued olive tone also works as a quiet contrast against warm creams, tobacco browns and softly chalky neutrals.

Use this muted olive texture to bring depth to upholstery while keeping the room quietly natural.

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