Name: Jacopo Driftwood
Brand: Zinc Textile

Jacopo Driftwood has a smoky taupe-brown depth, softened by cloudy tonal movement that runs through the surface like weathered wood. Its subtle lustre shifts gently across the irregular vertical pattern.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a dense-looking textile in layered taupe, brown and muted grey, with blurred bands that create an organic, marbled effect. Uneven vertical striations and softened edges give the pattern a naturally weathered character rather than a sharp geometric finish. Light catches parts of the surface, bringing out a restrained sheen against the deeper shaded areas. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric, so suitability should be assessed against the intended upholstery application.

How to use it

Pair this smoky taupe-brown with warm timber, aged bronze and softly chalky neutrals for a grounded scheme. Its cloudy, low-contrast movement works particularly well on an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard where the changing tonal depth can be seen across the form.

Use this smoky taupe-brown colourway to bring quiet depth to upholstered seating and headboards.

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.
