About this fabric

At 355gsm, this substantial fabric is well suited to upholstery, while its woven surface keeps the abstract design tactile rather than flat. The pattern repeat measures 67.5cm vertically by 46cm horizontally, creating irregular-looking washes and brush-like fragments across the cloth. In this Gilver colourway, cool grey, faded taupe and subdued mauve-grey tones are softened by pale ivory flashes. The 138cm usable width and 40m standard length make it practical for planning larger upholstery schemes.

How to use it

Use Tessere Gilver on a statement armchair, headboard or sofa where its pale taupe-grey ground can soften darker timber and stone finishes. Pair it with warm ivory, mushroom and weathered mauve accents to echo the fabric’s chalky tonal shifts.

A softly weathered taupe-grey ground that brings subtle tonal movement to upholstered seating.

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