Volta Silver

Electro FabricCCF0320-02

Volta Silver has a pale, cool silver ground marked with delicate grey-lilac fragments that drift across the surface like softened mineral veining. The close tonal contrast gives the fabric a light, quietly textured appearance rather than a bold graphic effect.

About this fabric

This Clarke & Clarke Electro fabric weighs 244gsm and has a generous 280cm usable width, making it a versatile option for both upholstery and drapery. Its irregular pattern repeats every 36cm vertically and horizontally, with broken, branching shapes woven in misty grey and faint mauve-grey tones. In the swatch, the silver background keeps the design airy, while the small shifts in tone add depth as the light moves across the surface. The standard length is 30 metres, suitable for larger coordinated schemes.

How to use it

Use Volta Silver to bring a cool, polished note to a contemporary room: it would work on a softly tailored chair, a pale sofa or full-length curtains alongside white, dove grey and muted lilac accents. Its low-contrast surface also makes it useful for balancing stronger metallic or patterned furnishings.

Its cool silver ground and softly mottled pattern suit contemporary upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Volta Silver 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.
