Zuni Driftwood

Name: Zuni Driftwood
Brand: Zinc Textile

Zuni Driftwood has a muted driftwood-taupe ground crossed by closely spaced horizontal rows of pale, ladder-like marks. Its softly irregular weave gives the colourway a calm, tactile depth rather than a flat solid appearance.

About this fabric

The design is built from narrow horizontal bands, each formed by small pale vertical dashes that create a restrained ladder effect across the cloth. Driftwood taupe sits between warm grey and soft brown, while the light threads catch across the raised surface to add gentle contrast. The close, mid-scale texture gives the fabric a versatile woven character suited to both upholstery and drapery. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this understated driftwood taupe with chalky whites, warm timber and soft stone shades for a quiet, layered interior. On a chair or sofa, the horizontal pattern adds texture without introducing a strong decorative motif.

Use the muted taupe ground to bring quiet warmth and subtle linear texture to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

Zuni Driftwood 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.
