About this fabric

The supplied catalogue identifies Brera Empress as a fabric from Zinc Textile’s Dvvweaves collection, with no performance features noted. In this colourway, pale sage and blue-green fields sit alongside smoky grey, deep charcoal and near-black marks. The large-scale composition is built from uneven rectangular strokes, with visible linear variation that gives the surface a dry, painterly texture. Its restrained, cool palette makes the pattern feel sophisticated rather than bright or theatrical.

How to use it

Use this cool sage and charcoal colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard, where its layered blocks can be appreciated at close range. Balance the blue-green tones with warm timber, stone and softly aged metal.

Use the cool sage, grey-green and charcoal palette to bring painterly depth to an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard.

Pairs well with

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