Etitto Sonnet

Etitto Sonnet reads as a pale, cool grey textile with a softly mottled, tightly woven face. Fine light yarns interrupt the darker grey ground, creating a quiet salt-and-pepper effect across the swatch.

About this fabric

The image shows a pale cool-grey ground threaded with lighter yarns, giving the surface a softly flecked appearance. Its tiny, regular basket-like structure creates tactile depth without a pronounced printed motif, while the closely set weave gives the swatch a substantial upholstery character. No composition, width or rub-test data is supplied, and no performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this restrained cool grey on an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard where its small-scale texture can add interest without introducing a strong pattern. It works especially well beside warm oak, chalky whites and deep charcoal.

Pair the pale cool-grey weave with crisp whites, natural woods and darker charcoal accents.

Pairs well with

Etitto Sonnet 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.
