Este Outdoor Avocet

Name: Este Outdoor Avocet
Brand: Black Edition

Este Outdoor Avocet has a cool charcoal-grey ground covered with tightly scattered black and pale-grey flecks. The close-scale texture gives the surface a softly irregular, almost pixelated appearance, while darker vertical tonal shifts add depth.

About this fabric

The fabric’s dense surface is built from tiny contrasting marks rather than a defined motif, creating a restrained pattern that reads as textured from a distance. Charcoal, graphite and muted grey tones sit together with a lightly salt-and-pepper effect, and the darker passages appear to form subtle vertical bands. Supplied as an Outdoor fabric with Outdoor performance, it is catalogued for practical exterior use. Its compact, substantial-looking weave makes it particularly suited to upholstered seating where a quiet pattern is preferable to a flat plain.

How to use it

Use Avocet on contemporary garden cushions, dining chairs or a compact outdoor sofa, pairing its cool charcoal tone with pale stone, weathered timber or black-painted frames. Keep surrounding fabrics simple so the fine fleck and tonal banding remain visible.

Use this cool charcoal-grey textile to bring subtle pattern and practical depth to contemporary outdoor seating.

Pairs well with

Este Outdoor Avocet 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.
