Shimmer FR Fabric

Mistral FR Elephant shows a tight geometric repeat of linked diamond forms on a deep brown ground. The lurex yarn gives the pattern a muted bronze shimmer that catches the light against the darker weave.

About this fabric

This colourway has a rich, earthy depth, with the motif reading as dark bronze rather than bright gold, so the overall effect stays grounded and tailored. The small-scale repeat is crisp and regular, and the 95% polyester, 5% lurex composition gives the surface a subtle metallic lift without losing its fabric feel. With a 140cm width and 0cm pattern repeat, it is straightforward to plan for upholstery or curtains where that compact geometric rhythm can be used cleanly. NQT1< care instructions are supplied for this fabric, so it should be handled as a specification-led interior textile rather than a delicate decorative sheer.

How to use it

Use it on a compact chair, ottoman or statement cushions where the dark bronze detail can sit against walnut woods, smoked glass or warm neutrals. It also works well for lined drapery in a scheme that needs pattern with a restrained, slightly lustrous edge.

A metallic bronze pattern that lifts the dark ground without feeling flashy.

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.
