Olympia Gallant Grey

Olympia Gallant Grey is a cool, stone-leaning grey with a fine, tightly pebbled surface. The colour feels restrained and practical, with just enough texture to stop it reading flat.

About this fabric

This plain from the Olympia collection is made from 100% polyester and is specified for contract use, with a durable 40,000 Martindale rating. The swatch shows a compact, speckled weave that gives the grey a soft heathered depth rather than a smooth solid finish. Gallant Grey sits in a cool mid-grey range, with subtle darker flecks that help it feel tailored and professional. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and professional dry cleaning in situ is recommended for care.

How to use it

Use this grey on banquettes, office seating or contemporary sofas where a calm, disciplined tone is needed. Its cool, textured surface pairs neatly with blackened metal, pale oak and crisp white linens.

A quiet grey with a lightly textured finish, ideal for tailored seating and contract interiors.

Pairs well with

Olympia Gallant Grey 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.
