Mistral FR Graphite

Shimmer FR Fabric

Mistral FR Graphite has a dark, tailored look, with the geometric motif picked out in a muted gold shimmer against a near-black ground. The result is compact, textural and distinctly smart.

About this fabric

Woven in 95% polyester and 5% lurex, this 140cm-wide fabric has a decorative metallic finish that lifts the pattern without making it flashy. The small repeating geometric design reads as graphite black at first glance, then reveals warm antique-gold highlights as the light catches the lurex. With no pattern repeat to manage, it is straightforward to cut for upholstery projects that need a neat, consistent surface. The overall effect is refined and slightly industrial, with enough sparkle to soften the dark ground.

How to use it

Use this colourway to bring definition to a dining chair, ottoman or occasional armchair, especially where you want contrast against pale walls or oak. Its graphite base and subdued gold glint work well with brass, walnut and other deep, tonal finishes.

Use with warm timber and matte black for a crisp, tailored finish.

Pairs well with

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