Origins FabricCCF0519-04

Parallel Silver combines a pale, cool silver-grey ground with softly contrasting taupe-grey bars arranged in a precise geometric grid. Its lightly textured woven surface gives the pattern a quieter, more tactile character than a printed stripe.

About this fabric

Parallel Silver has a cool silver-grey ground crossed by taupe-grey woven bars, creating a restrained architectural rhythm. Repeated horizontal and vertical strokes form compact rectangular blocks, with the subtle tonal contrast keeping the geometric design calm rather than stark. At 313 gsm, it has a substantial mid-weight presence and a 136 cm usable width for upholstery or drapery applications. The pattern repeats every 11.7 cm vertically and 8.5 cm horizontally, giving the layout a measured, easy-to-align structure.

How to use it

Pair this cool silver colourway with chalky whites, pale grey upholstery and brushed metal for a clean contemporary scheme. Its muted contrast also works well as a tailored curtain or blind fabric against darker charcoal or warm timber accents.

Use its cool silver-grey ground and measured bar pattern to bring quiet architectural structure to contemporary upholstery, curtains or blinds.

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