NATURAL LINEN: A more traditional natural color fabric option with a coarser weave compared to our Natural Anna and Flax fabrics.

NATURAL ANNA: A more contemporary, white fabric with a tighter, smoother weave compared to the Natural Linen.

FLAX: Our most popular transitional, off-white fabric with the same weave as on our Natural Anna shade.

DOESKIN MICRO-SUEDE: Softer, richer fabrics, our micro-suedes are hand-dyed and distressed to create a subtle patterning with warm brown and tan overtones, especially when lit.

LIGHT GREY: A subtle nuance of grey, warmer in hue when lit. Textural qualities similar to a refined linen weave.

MEDIUM GREY: A neutral cool grey, with textural qualities similar to a refined linen weave.

SPUN FROST: A white, non-woven fabric imparts a light, contemporary feel.

SPUN AMBER: A warm, amber alternative to the Spun Frost non-woven fabric.

NATURAL CORK: A renewable natural cork veneer which glows dramatically when lit.
