Tanit Tungsten

Name: Tanit Tungsten
Brand: Zinc Textile

Tanit Tungsten has a quiet, mineral character, with a cool taupe-grey ground crossed by fine, uneven horizontal lines. Its restrained colour and softly irregular weave create depth without introducing a distinct motif.

About this fabric

The swatch reads as a deep grey-brown neutral, with subtle shifts between charcoal, taupe and muted brown visible across the surface. Fine horizontal slubs run through the cloth in gently broken bands, giving the weave a tactile, lightly weathered appearance rather than a perfectly uniform finish. The closely textured construction makes this colourway suitable for both upholstery and drapery, subject to the intended application. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Pair Tanit Tungsten with chalky whites, smoked oak and blackened metal for a cool, architectural scheme, or use it to temper warmer timber and rust-toned accents. Its low-contrast horizontal texture works particularly well on clean-lined seating, cushions or relaxed curtains.

Use this cool taupe-grey weave to bring quiet texture and depth to contemporary upholstery or softly tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Tanit Tungsten 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.
