Chi Oyster

The house has discontinued this one. We are keeping the page so the link still works, but we can no longer order it. There are alternatives below, and if you have a cutting or a photograph we will help you match it.

Chi Oyster has a pale oyster-cream ground scattered with closely spaced, softly defined circular motifs. Its low-contrast palette gives the surface a gentle chalky quality, while the visible weave adds quiet texture.

About this fabric

The image shows a softly nubby textile in oyster cream, with each rounded motif containing a faintly varied centre that prevents the pattern from appearing flat. The cool, light colouring is more nuanced than plain white, with delicate tonal shifts visible across the woven surface. Chi Oyster has a 138 cm usable width, a 315 gsm weight and 141 threads per cm. Its circular pattern repeats every 23 cm vertically and horizontally, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Pair this soft oyster colourway with warm white, pale timber and understated natural textures for a calm, light-filled scheme. Its even circular repeat can cover a relaxed chair, headboard or full-length window treatment without introducing strong contrast.

Use the softly patterned oyster ground to bring light, quiet texture to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

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