Sappheo Ember

Name: Sappheo Ember
Brand: Zinc Textile

Sappheo Ember has a richly atmospheric presence, combining an ember-brown ground with vivid, curling bands of red, teal, cream and near-black. In the image, the pattern reads as a confident statement across cushions and a sculptural accent chair.

About this fabric

The visible colourway balances deep rust and chocolate-brown tones with brighter red, creamy ivory, teal and black graphic curves. Its mottled, softly textured appearance gives the darker ground depth, while the contrasting motifs catch the light across the upholstered seating. Supplied as a fabric from Zinc Textile’s Superstars collection, it is shown here used specifically for upholstery on cushions and chairs.

How to use it

Use Sappheo Ember where its warm brown depth can anchor a room, then pick out the red, teal or cream within the pattern on cushions, painted furniture or small accessories. It works particularly well as a dramatic accent against dark walls and rich red upholstery.

Use this warm, graphic colourway on an accent chair or statement cushions against dark timber, deep red or warm brown interiors.

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