Kowloon Espresso

Kowloon Espresso reads as a deep, warm espresso brown with an almost black depth in the darkest areas. Its vertically streaked pile catches the light unevenly, creating a softly rippled surface rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

This fabric is catalogued as Velvet, with the dense, tactile pile clearly visible across the swatch. Espresso-brown tones move through the face in irregular vertical bands, shifting from near-black shadows to softer cocoa highlights as the pile changes direction. The close-set streaking gives the colourway a subtly elongated rhythm while retaining the plush visual weight associated with velvet. No performance features are noted for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Kowloon Espresso on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its warm, dark brown tone can anchor a room. Pair it with aged timber, smoked glass or muted brass to emphasise its low-lit, luxurious character.

Use this richly shadowed espresso velvet to bring depth and tactile luxury to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

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