About this fabric

Voltaire Grege from the Manuel Canovas Voltaire collection is a 140cm-wide fabric with no repeat, making it especially easy to cut and use across simple upholstery or drapery projects. The cloth is made from 42% cotton, 38% viscose, 15% polyester and 5% linen, which gives the surface a natural-looking matte softness with just enough polish from the viscose to keep the colour luminous. In this colourway, the shade reads as a warm greige cream rather than a bright ivory, with a gentle depth that softens in low light and stays calm in daylight. The fine woven texture is visible in the swatch, adding quiet interest without disturbing the clean, minimal look. Care code Q 8 < T 3 and √BM fire compliance are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this soft greige on upholstered dining chairs, a loose sofa cover or relaxed interlinings where you want warmth without visual weight. It also makes an elegant curtain fabric in rooms with stone, oak or pale painted walls.

A restrained greige that works beautifully on tailored upholstery or quiet curtains.

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.
