About this fabric

Macrame Tobacco is a fabric from Zinc Textile’s Salamander collection, shown here in a warm tobacco-taupe and cream colourway. Interlocking maze-like rectangular lines create a repeating Greek-key effect, with small dotted detailing adding visual texture between the brighter linear bands. Its structured woven appearance reads as substantial and is best suited to upholstery rather than lightweight, fluid drapery. No composition, width, rub-test figures or performance features are supplied for this exact fabric, so those details should be confirmed before specification.

How to use it

Use the warm tobacco tone to anchor an upholstered armchair, ottoman or headboard, pairing it with natural timber, aged brass and quiet cream textiles. The cream geometry can also pick up lighter trim or piping for a precise, tailored finish.

The structured woven appearance and warm tobacco colouring make it a strong choice for upholstered furniture and tailored accents.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Macrame Tobacco 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.
