Z Suede Cocoa

Name: Z Suede Cocoa
Brand: Zinc Textile

Z Suede Cocoa is a rich, warm brown with the quiet depth of cocoa powder and the softly brushed appearance of suede. Its even, unpatterned surface lets the colour and subtle nap take centre stage.

About this fabric

This plain fabric presents a deep cocoa-brown tone with gentle tonal variation across the surface rather than a printed motif or woven pattern. The finish appears softly matte, while the fine nap creates slightly lighter and darker areas as it catches the light. That restrained surface texture gives the colour a tactile, enveloping quality that reads especially well on upholstered forms. No further specification data is supplied for this fabric, so its visible suede-like handle and rich brown colouring are the defining characteristics shown here.

How to use it

Use Cocoa on a statement armchair, sofa or ottoman where its warm brown depth can anchor a room. Pair it with soft creams, aged timber and muted brass for a layered, quietly luxurious scheme.

Use this warm cocoa suede effect to bring depth and a softly luxurious finish to upholstered seating.

Z Suede Cocoa 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.
