Plateau Tobacco

Plateau Tobacco is shown on a sculptural upholstered chair in a deep tobacco brown, with a softly reflective surface that catches the low light. Its close, scale-like texture gives the curved form added visual depth.

About this fabric

This supplied fabric is shown covering a sculptural chair, making its upholstery suitability clear from the image. The warm tobacco-brown tone reads deep and earthy, while bronze-taupe highlights appear across the raised surface. A fine, irregular scale or crosshatched motif creates a tactile, reptile-like effect without introducing a separate colour contrast. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Plateau Tobacco on a statement chair, occasional seat or compact sofa in a dark, atmospheric scheme. Pair its warm brown depth with black-painted surfaces and softer stone or parchment tones to draw out the subtle bronze highlights.

Use this richly textured tobacco brown on sculptural upholstery where its bronze-catching surface can take centre stage.

Pairs well with

Plateau 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.
