Paros Mer

Paros FabricM4159-01

Paros Mer has a finely structured, basket-like weave that reads as cool and quietly luminous. The small-scale pattern gives the surface a tailored rhythm without feeling busy.

About this fabric

This colourway combines pale silver grey, misty blue-grey and warm taupe lines, creating a subtle tonal grid that shifts gently in the light. The woven construction gives the cloth a dry, textured handle rather than a flat printed look, which suits the design's neat geometry. With a repeat of approx. V 5cm / H 5cm and a width of approx. 140cm, it is practical for both upholstery and drapery applications. The 100% Polyolefin (FR) composition and care code C 8 + W 3 make it a useful choice where a smart, hard-working finish is needed.

How to use it

Use Paros Mer to bring a calm, contemporary texture to an upholstered armchair, dining chair or banquette. Its soft silver-grey palette also layers easily with chalk whites, stone, pale oak and deeper navy accents.

A cool, neatly tailored weave that works well on clean-lined upholstery or crisp drapery.

Pairs well with

Paros Mer 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.
