About this fabric

Part of the Bohemian collection, this plain weave is shown here in a deep lead grey that sits between charcoal and stone, with subtle tonal flecks catching the light across the surface. The texture looks firm and slightly nubby, giving the cloth a practical, upholstery-friendly character. Made from 100% polyester and specified for contract use, it offers a 40,000 Martindale rating, making it well suited to demanding seating schemes. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available upon request, and should be professionally dry cleaned in situ.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a clean-lined sofa, banquette or dining chair to bring a refined industrial note to the room. The cool grey tone pairs especially well with pale oak, black metal and soft off-whites.

A muted grey with a tactile woven finish, ideal for tailored seating and contract schemes.

Pairs well with

Bohemian Lead is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
