About this fabric

This substantial 600 gsm textile has a tactile woven face, making it best suited to upholstery. The colourway reads as softly warm rather than stark, with natural beige and cream bands set against charcoal-grey details and muted ochre touches. Its vertical repeat is 7.2 cm and the horizontal repeat is 34.2 cm, giving the stripe a measured, graphic rhythm. The fabric has a 140 cm useable width and a standard length of 35 m; no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use Orpheus Natural on a tailored armchair, bench or sofa where its warm neutral ground can soften a room while the charcoal and ochre stripes provide definition. Pair it with unbleached linens, pale timber and darker grey-brown accents to echo the woven colour balance.

A substantial woven stripe for upholstery, with warm neutrals balanced by charcoal and ochre accents.

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