Athena - Cendre is a very pale, cool grey textile with delicate vertical tonal variation across its surface. The close-up view reveals a quiet woven strié rather than a distinct printed pattern.

About this fabric

The fabric is woven in a soft, silvery grey, with fine vertical variation creating a restrained strié effect. Slightly darker threads and gentle irregularity give the otherwise light colour a little depth, while the surface remains calm and understated. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature has been supplied for this colourway, so those details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use this cool grey as a light, architectural base alongside pale woods, white plaster tones and muted blue-grey accents. Its fine vertical texture would bring subtle definition to either relaxed upholstery or softly tailored drapery.

Pair this cool, silvery grey with natural timber, chalky neutrals and softly textured upholstery or curtains.

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.
