Guilin Cognac

About this fabric

This fabric is woven in a richly variegated cognac brown, with darker chocolate shading concentrated towards the top and warmer copper-brown tones below. Fine pale flecks interrupt the surface, while elongated vertical marks create a weathered, organic texture rather than a regular printed motif. The dense-looking weave and substantial visual weight make it a natural choice for upholstery. It is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Guilin Cognac on a reading chair, sofa or headboard where its warm brown depth can sit alongside dark timber, aged leather and softly contrasting natural linens. The lighter copper notes in the lower weave also work well with clay, rust and muted cream accents.

A richly textured cognac brown textile with organic vertical movement, well suited to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Guilin Cognac 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.
