Yeti Fabric

Agouti Agouti has a smoky brown-taupe ground with softly blurred, horizontal tonal movement across the surface. Its fuzzy, plush appearance creates depth as the light shifts over the fibres.

About this fabric

The colour sits between deep taupe, brown and charcoal, with lighter grey-brown areas emerging through the mottled shading. Broad, indistinct bands run across the swatch rather than forming a crisp repeat, giving the design an organic, animal-like character. Fine raised fibres soften the transitions between dark and light, creating a velvety, fur-like surface impression. This substantial-looking textile is particularly suited to upholstery where its tactile depth can be seen and felt.

How to use it

Pair this smoky taupe colourway with warm walnut, dark stained timber or aged bronze for a cocooning scheme. It also works as a grounding upholstery fabric beside soft ivory, stone and muted clay tones.

Use this plush, smoky taupe textile to give upholstered pieces a softly dramatic, tactile finish.

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