Kobi Fossil is a restrained grey plain with a softly speckled, woven surface that gives the colourway a quiet depth. The overall effect is cool and mineral, with a subtle textural grain visible across the swatch.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a muted fossil grey, sitting between stone and slate with a gently weathered finish. The close weave and fine cross-texture add visual movement without introducing a defined pattern, which keeps the surface calm and versatile. Made from 100% polyester and rated to 40,000 Martindale, it is designed for heavy domestic use and has the durability to suit everyday seating. It is supplied back coated to cigarette & match to BS5852, and professional dry clean in situ is recommended for after care.

How to use it

Use Kobi Fossil on sofas, armchairs or banquettes where you want a smart neutral with a slightly rugged, architectural feel. It works especially well with pale woods, black metal accents and layered charcoal or parchment tones.

A grounded, practical grey that suits clean-lined seating and tailored schemes.

Pairs well with

Kobi Fossil 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.
