Odyssey Porcelain

Odyssey Porcelain is a quietly luminous plain with a soft porcelain-white appearance and a very light, low-contrast finish. The surface reads smooth and understated, with just enough texture to keep the shade from feeling flat.

About this fabric

This colourway sits in a cool, chalky white range, with a gentle off-white cast that feels crisp rather than creamy. In the swatch it has a restrained, almost misted look, so the finish catches light softly instead of reflecting it sharply. Made from 100% polyester, Odyssey is specified for contract use and carries a robust 50,000 Martindale, making it a practical choice for demanding schemes. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and professional dry clean in situ is recommended, with further care guidance available from the pattern book.

How to use it

Use this shade to lift darker timber, stone and metal finishes, or pair it with pale greys and taupes for a calm, tailored room. Its porcelain tone works especially well where you want a clean backdrop without the glare of a pure optic white.

A clean, contract-ready neutral that suits tailored upholstery and calm, layered interiors.

Odyssey Porcelain 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.
