About this fabric

Part of the Odyssey collection by J Brown, this plain colourway is woven in 100% polyester and offered for contract use. It has a substantial 50,000 Martindale rating and is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request. Visually, Fossil reads as a muted mid-grey with subtle cloudy variation, giving it a gently weathered, stone-like character rather than a flat synthetic finish. The overall effect is clean and contemporary, with enough depth in the tone to soften large upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use Odyssey Fossil on banquettes, dining chairs or reception seating where a restrained grey is needed without feeling stark. It pairs especially well with black metal, pale oak and warm off-whites.

A calm fossil grey that works beautifully on tailored seating or contract interiors.

Pairs well with

Odyssey 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.
