About this fabric

This 304gsm fabric has a usable width of 140cm, making it a versatile mid-weight choice for both upholstery and drapery. The design is formed from irregular vertical striations rather than a sharply defined motif, with the light-catching weave creating subtle bands of depth across the surface. It has a 33cm vertical repeat and 35cm horizontal repeat, allowing the movement of the pattern to remain visible without becoming dominant. The standard length is 40m.

How to use it

Use the soft greige-taupe shade to bring gentle contrast to warm whites, pale timber and stone finishes, or upholster a clean-lined chair where its distressed vertical texture can be appreciated up close. As curtains, its muted tonal variation will add depth without introducing a strong colour statement.

A softly distressed greige textile with vertical movement, suited to upholstery and drapery where a quiet, tactile finish is wanted.

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.
