About this fabric

The design is built from short diagonal strokes and irregular fragments, creating a subtle, all-over rhythm with a lightly weathered feel. Warm cream and beige tones keep the base gentle, while cooler grey and charcoal accents bring definition and depth. The close-set pattern reads as medium scale, giving the cloth visual interest without a strong directional motif. The supplied record lists no performance features or further technical specifications for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this warm off-white colourway with pale timber, chalky walls and charcoal accents to echo its restrained tonal range. It also suits contemporary upholstery where the broken marks can soften the look of a clean-lined chair or sofa.

Use this softly contrasting neutral on contemporary seating where its charcoal and taupe marks can add depth without overwhelming the room.

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.
