Olbia FabricOLB3834

OLB3834 is a cool grey chenille with a densely irregular surface, combining charcoal, silver-grey and pale fibres in a softly mottled weave. Its close texture gives the colour noticeable depth rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The visible weave is chunky and nubby, with short chenille fibres creating a lightly raised surface and scattered darker flecks throughout the cool grey ground. This is a 100% polyester chenille supplied at 138cm wide, with an upholstery grade suitable for both contract and domestic use. OLB3834 is machine washable, and its flame retardancy is rated for Domestic Cig & Match; it can also be treated to Crib 5 contract grade. The grey palette reads urban and versatile, while the varied yarn tones soften the overall effect.

How to use it

Use OLB3834 on a sofa, dining chair or occasional chair where its cool grey tone can balance warm timber, black metal or pale stone. Pair it with charcoal accents for a sharper scheme, or introduce oatmeal and soft white to bring out the lighter threads in the weave.

A cool, densely textured grey chenille for practical upholstered seating in both domestic and contract interiors.

OLB3834 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.
