Parallel Ivory

Origins FabricCCF0519-02

Parallel Ivory presents a quiet, ladder-like geometric pattern in soft ivory over a warm pale greige ground. The closely woven surface gives the neutral colourway gentle depth rather than a stark, flat white appearance.

About this fabric

At 313gsm, this substantial woven fabric has the presence to work across both upholstery and drapery applications. Short ivory bars are arranged into alternating horizontal and vertical groups, creating a measured architectural rhythm across the cloth. Its 11.7cm vertical repeat and 8.5cm horizontal repeat keep the motif noticeable while remaining easy to coordinate. The 136cm usable width and softly textured greige base make this a practical, smart neutral with a warmer and more tactile feel than pure ivory.

How to use it

Pair Parallel Ivory with warm timber, chalky painted finishes and natural stone for a light, considered room scheme. Its pale greige undertone also works well on tailored seating or full-length curtains where a little tonal pattern is preferred over plain cloth.

Use this softly structured ivory-and-greige weave to lighten upholstery or coordinate calm, tailored curtains.

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