Altar Celestial

Defined Momentum Fabrics FabricHAF0630-02

Altar Celestial has a deep charcoal blue-grey ground animated by fine, broken vertical zigzags. Warm taupe and muted copper threads flicker through the weave, giving the surface a subtly dimensional finish.

About this fabric

This substantial 453gsm textile has a close, tactile construction with 108 threads per centimetre, making it well suited to upholstery. The small-scale directional pattern is formed from irregular, closely spaced chevron-like lines rather than a rigid geometric grid. Its cool blue-grey tone reads as dark and composed, while the warmer flecks catch the light across the surface and soften the charcoal depth. The usable width is 136cm, and the pattern repeats every 22.2cm vertically and 16.5cm horizontally.

How to use it

Use Altar Celestial on a tailored sofa, armchair or dining seat where its dark blue-grey tone can anchor a room. Pair it with aged timber, brushed metal and warm taupe accents to draw out the coppery threads in the weave.

Use this cool, dark blue-grey weave to give sofas, dining chairs and headboards a tailored, textural finish.

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