About this fabric

This colourway sits in a muted pigeon grey, lighter and softer than charcoal with a subtly cool cast. Fine vertical and horizontal threads form a restrained crosshatched texture, creating delicate tonal movement across the plain face. The dense-looking weave gives the fabric a composed, smart appearance suited to upholstery. No composition, width, usage or rub-test specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Sahara Ii Pigeon to upholster a contemporary sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its soft grey tone can temper warmer timber, stone and natural fibres. Its quiet texture also works well with deeper graphite, taupe or blue-grey accents.

A softly textured pigeon grey weave that brings quiet depth to upholstered furniture and tailored interiors.

Sahara Ii Pigeon 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.
