About this fabric

The pale, cool grey-white ground is crossed by irregular angular lines in a muted blue-grey, creating a broken geometric rhythm rather than a hard, high-contrast graphic. The pattern feels lively at close range, while the restrained colour contrast keeps the overall effect quiet and composed. At 250 gsm with 166 threads per cm, this woven fabric has a versatile mid-weight suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Its pattern repeat measures 25 cm vertically by 34 cm horizontally, which should be considered when matching the design.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey colourway to bring gentle definition to a pale contemporary room, where its muted geometry can cover an occasional chair, sofa, blind or pair of curtains without overpowering the scheme.

A cool, low-contrast geometric for calm contemporary upholstery or softly patterned curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Izumi Exhale/Soft Focus 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.
