About this fabric

This colourway is catalogued as Fabric and appears as a tightly woven, small-scale textile in the supplied image. Its tungsten tone sits between stone, taupe and soft grey, creating a restrained neutral with a slightly cool cast. Fine interlaced yarns form an even granular texture, while small tonal shifts keep the surface from looking flat. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use the soft taupe-grey tone on a structured armchair, sofa or headboard, pairing it with chalky whites, weathered timber and brushed metal for a quietly tailored scheme.

Its softly mottled taupe-grey weave brings understated texture to tailored upholstery and neutral room schemes.

Pairs well with

Clarendon Tungsten 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.
