About this fabric

Onda Steel is a substantial 514gsm woven fabric, making its weight well suited to upholstery. Its cool steel-grey ground carries a restrained mauve cast, while lighter taupe-grey lines create the impression of sinuous, elongated channels across the surface. The organic pattern repeats every 31cm vertically and 17.5cm horizontally, producing a continuous rhythm without a rigid geometric edge. It has a 138cm usable width and a standard length of 40m.

How to use it

Use Onda Steel on a sofa, occasional chair or headboard where its cool grey tone can temper warmer timber and brass. Keep surrounding upholstery simple so the pale, flowing lines remain visible as the defining detail.

Use its cool steel-grey ground and pale undulating lines to bring quiet movement to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Onda Steel without fighting it. 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.
