Sumi Linen/Stone

Momentum Volume 7 & 8 FabricHAF0194-01

Sumi Linen/Stone pairs a cool, muted stone-taupe ground with irregular ivory lines that intersect in sharp, architectural shapes. The fine woven surface gives the colourway a softly textured, understated depth.

About this fabric

This 390gsm fabric has a 142cm usable width and a substantial mid-weight handle suited to upholstery and drapery applications. Its angular pattern repeats every 77cm vertically and 142cm horizontally, creating large, overlapping polygonal forms across the cloth. Against the restrained stone ground, the pale lines read as softened ivory rather than stark white, while the visible horizontal weave adds gentle tonal variation. With 114 threads per centimetre, the surface has a closely woven appearance that balances the graphic design with tactile softness.

How to use it

Use Sumi Linen/Stone to bring cool architectural definition to a neutral sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain. Its stone-taupe base sits naturally with chalk, charcoal, pale timber and brushed metal, while the ivory geometry adds a measured layer of contrast.

The cool stone ground and quiet ivory geometry bring structured contrast to contemporary upholstery, curtains and cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Sumi Linen/Stone 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.
