Arctique appears as a cool blue-grey textile with a quiet, finely mottled surface. Its even field has no visible motif, allowing the restrained colour and weave to provide the visual interest.

About this fabric

The photograph shows a muted arctic blue with a subtle grey cast, giving the cloth a cool and composed appearance rather than a bright or saturated blue. A close, even weave creates gentle tonal variation across the surface, while the plain design keeps the texture understated. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Arctique to introduce a soft blue-grey note on an upholstered chair, sofa or simple curtain, pairing it with pale neutrals, weathered timber or brushed metal. Its cool, quiet tone is especially suited to calm contemporary rooms.

Use this calm blue-grey weave to bring cool, understated texture to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

Absolu - Arctique 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.
