About this fabric

The colourway is strictly monochrome, with dense black shapes set against white grounds and fine repeated lines. Zigzag bird silhouettes create a lively upper pattern, while the larger triangular forms below add weight and structure. Chevron bands and diagonal edges introduce strong visual rhythm, making the design read as considered and geometric rather than soft or decorative. No further performance or composition specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this black-and-white colourway where a room benefits from strong visual punctuation: a statement occasional chair, contemporary bench, or neatly tailored blind. Balance its angular pattern with plain upholstery and pale grey or white architectural finishes.

A high-contrast monochrome design that brings graphic definition to contemporary upholstery or structured window treatments.

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.
