Sol Tobacco

Name: Sol Tobacco

Sol Tobacco has a warm tobacco-brown base broken up by tiny cream and grey-beige flecks. Its tightly packed surface creates a fine, peppered texture with gentle visual depth.

About this fabric

The swatch is formed from a dense micro-weave of brown, cream and grey-beige threads, creating a close textured effect rather than a drawn motif. Its tobacco ground feels warm and earthy, while the lighter flecks prevent the colour from appearing flat or overly dark. No composition, width or rub-test specification is supplied for this fabric, and no performance features are noted. The compact woven appearance reads as a substantial textile suited to upholstery.

How to use it

Use Sol Tobacco on an armchair, sofa or headboard where its warm brown tone can anchor a room without the heaviness of a solid dark fabric. Pair it with cream, oatmeal and muted grey-beige accents to pick up the lighter flecks in the weave.

The warm tobacco ground and fine flecked weave bring tailored depth to upholstered pieces.

Sol Tobacco 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.
