Orion Iii Fabric

About this fabric

The colour sits between warm grey and muted taupe, with lighter and darker threads creating a gently mottled finish. Its close horizontal weave is clearly visible in the swatch, while the surface remains calm and non-directional in appearance. This mid-weight-looking textile is suitable for both upholstery and drapery based on its visible weave and handle impression. No additional performance specification is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Orion III Stone on a streamlined sofa or occasional chair where its quiet taupe-grey tone can soften stronger architectural finishes. It also works as understated drapery alongside chalky neutrals, pale timber and brushed metal.

A quiet stone taupe with a fine horizontal weave, suitable for upholstery and softly structured window treatments.

Pairs well with

Orion Iii Stone 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.
