About this fabric

Woven in 63% Polyester and 37% BCI Cotton, Apollo is a 145cm-wide fabric with a 14cm vertical repeat and 16.5cm horizontal repeat. In Elephant, the design reads as a cool, mid-grey with paler rounded blocks and darker grey outlines, giving the pattern a softly architectural feel. The fabric surface has a slightly textural, linen-like look rather than a flat printed finish, which helps the geometric shapes feel grounded and tactile. The overall effect is understated and contemporary, with enough visual interest to work in a room without overpowering it.

How to use it

Use this elephant-grey colourway on an armchair, window seat, or Roman blind where the geometric motif can add structure without feeling loud. It pairs neatly with pale oak, chalky whites, and deeper charcoal accents.

A cool grey geometric with enough body for cushions, blinds, or tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

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