Zhi is a semi-plain chenille carrying a diamond motif in relief, the pattern present as a shadow in the pile rather than a drawn line. It reads as a plain with a pulse, texture organised just enough to catch the light in a regular rhythm.
Woven in Italy from viscose, cotton and polyester at 138 centimetres, it is soft-handed and extremely durable, a rub test of 100,000 placing it at contract grade, family sofas, dining chairs, banquettes, window seats. Cloths like this are the quiet foundation of a room, holding the scheme steady while patterns come and go above them.
