In Modern Twill, varied colourways are brought to life through a warm weaving pattern that has both the strength and the timeless appeal of traditional twill fabrics. Complete with a distinctive flecked pattern and a mottled surface, the range is deep and tactile, and promises to wear well as the years (and foot traffic) go by. Perfect for bringing warmth and depth to an interior space, the colourways span the neutral (Stone Grey and Peppermill), the contemporary (Steel Blue and Taupe Grey), and the traditional (Chino and Walnut), with 12 different options set to compliment interiors of any typology.
French Tweed

Crafted through a refined cut and loop pile construction, the rich texture and evocative finish of the product is reminiscent of woven cloth, and brings an elevated feel to interior spaces. Like a fine piece of tailoring, the French Tweed product has both structure and softness, and reveals more depth and complexity the longer it is looked at. Available in six colours, this modern interpretation of European textile tradition crafted for its exquisiteness, built for commercial performance.
