About this fabric

This fabric has a neat, small geometric weave that reads almost like a subtle micro-chevron across the surface, giving the cloth gentle movement without overpowering a scheme. The soft blue-grey tone feels cool and airy, with the paler ground lifting the darker thread detail so the pattern stays visible but understated. Supplied as a 100% Polyolefin (FR) fabric, Corti has a practical 138cm approximate width and a repeat of V 6cm / H 4cm approx, which supports precise pattern matching on made-to-measure work. The texture looks smooth and fairly structured, making it suitable for both upholstery and drapery where a clean, smart finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use Ortigia Mer on compact armchairs, banquettes or roman blinds where its disciplined pattern can sit against oak, pale plaster or brushed metal. The cool blue-grey works especially well in restrained coastal or contemporary interiors that need texture without strong contrast.

A crisp blue-grey small-scale weave that works neatly on tailored upholstery or clean-lined curtains.

Pairs well with

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