Wave Gris

Wave Fabric

Wave Gris is a pale, cool grey textile with a finely striated surface. Its subtle vertical movement gives the colourway a lightly textured appearance rather than a flat, solid finish.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a softly variegated grey ground crossed by fine vertical lines, creating a restrained woven texture. Light catches the raised threads unevenly, giving the surface gentle tonal depth while keeping the overall impression clean and quiet. The cool grey shade has a slightly silvery cast that will sit comfortably with crisp whites, pale woods and other cool neutrals. No composition, width, rub-test or performance data is supplied for this colourway, so suitability should be confirmed against the requirements of the project.

How to use it

Use Wave Gris where a room needs a cool, silvery neutral with more surface interest than a plain grey. It would suit tailored seating, cushions or relaxed curtains alongside pale timber, white painted finishes and soft blue-grey accents.

Use the cool pale-grey tone to bring quiet definition to tailored upholstery, cushions or softly structured curtains.

Pairs well with

Wave Gris 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.
