Wave Fabric

Wave Concrete is a cool, concrete-toned grey with a finely woven surface that gives the plain ground subtle visual movement. The close-up reveals delicate vertical and horizontal yarn variation rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

The fabric reads as a balanced mid-grey, softened by lighter threads that create a quiet, linen-like crosshatch effect. Fine vertical lines are visible across the surface, while the horizontal weave adds gentle tonal depth as the light shifts. No composition, width or performance specification is supplied for this colourway. Its restrained texture keeps the design understated while preventing the cool grey from appearing flat.

How to use it

Use Wave Concrete to bring a cool, architectural grey to upholstered seating, headboards or relaxed curtains. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and soft blue-greys to reinforce its clean, quietly textured character.

Its cool grey ground and fine woven texture suit calm upholstery, cushions, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Wave Concrete 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.
