Athne Ember

Name: Athne Ember
Brand: Zinc Textile

Athne Ember has a richly warm terracotta ground, animated by irregular, rippling striations that move vertically across the surface. The subtly rough visual texture gives this colourway depth without making the pattern feel overly busy.

About this fabric

The image shows a saturated ember-red terracotta shade with darker and lighter bands creating an organic, almost weathered rhythm. Its softly broken lines resemble flowing grain or ripples, while the close surface texture keeps the design tactile in appearance. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric, and no performance features are noted, so suitability should be confirmed for the intended application.

How to use it

Use Athne Ember to add enveloping warmth to a reading chair, headboard or full-length curtain, pairing its burnt terracotta depth with tobacco brown, aged brass and chalky neutrals. The irregular striation also works well against simpler plains and natural timber.

Use the warm ember tone to bring depth to upholstery, curtains or layered schemes with rust, tobacco and natural neutrals.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Athne Ember without fighting it. 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.
