About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and measuring approximately 138cm wide, Foss Smoke has no visible repeat, letting the natural texture lead the design. The surface reads as a soft smoke grey with a cool cast, sitting between steel and slate without becoming dark. In the image, the weave shows a subtle crosshatched linen grain that keeps the colour from feeling flat. The care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Foss Smoke for tailored curtains, relaxed Roman blinds or upholstery on clean-lined seating where the cool grey can feel crisp rather than heavy. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale oak and brushed metal finishes.

A restrained smoke-grey linen that works neatly across upholstery and curtains.

Foss Smoke is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
