Curtis Mink

Name: Curtis Mink
Brand: Zinc Textile

Curtis Mink is a muted mink-taupe textile with a closely woven, softly flecked surface. Fine pale threads break up the brown-grey ground, creating restrained visual depth rather than a bold pattern.

About this fabric

The compact weave combines warm taupe, soft brown and small light flecks in an understated, almost granular texture. Its surface has a subtle linear rhythm, while the varied thread colour keeps the shade from appearing flat. This close texture reads smart and tailored, making it especially suited to upholstered pieces where quiet detail can be seen at close range. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Curtis Mink on a tailored chair, bench or sofa where its muted brown-grey tone can sit comfortably with cream, stone, walnut and brushed metal accents.

A compact, flecked taupe weave for tailored upholstery with subtle surface depth.

Pairs well with

Curtis Mink 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.
