About this fabric

This colourway reads as a muted shadow grey, with a cool undertone and a lightly mottled finish that softens the overall look. The plain design keeps the focus on the subtle texture visible in the weave, giving the fabric a calm, tailored character rather than a flat solid appearance. Made from 100% polyester and specified for contract use, it offers a practical 50,000 Martindale rating for demanding environments. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request, and after care is by professional dry clean in situ.

How to use it

Use Odyssey Shadow on banquettes, armchairs or contract seating where a restrained grey will sit easily with timber, black metal or pale upholstery accents. Its cool, understated tone also works well alongside stone, white and charcoal schemes.

A versatile grey that works neatly on tailored seating and contract schemes.

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.
