Lars Plain Fossil

Lars FabricLF1949

Lars Plain Fossil is a quiet, close-woven textile in a muted grey with a gently warm, mineral cast. Its fine crosshatch surface gives the otherwise plain cloth subtle tonal depth when viewed up close.

About this fabric

The tightly woven surface combines soft grey, beige and charcoal fibres, creating the understated fossil tone visible across the swatch rather than a flat, uniform colour. Supplied at approximately 137cm wide, it is specified for fixed upholstery and graded for Contract and General Domestic use. Its composition is 15% linen, 20% acrylic, 20% viscose and 40% cotton, giving the plain design a lightly textured appearance. Professional dry cleaning only is recommended.

How to use it

Pair this cool-leaning fossil grey with warm timber, chalky walls and dark metal for a balanced, quietly tailored interior. It also works as a calm upholstered base alongside olive, rust or muted blue accents.

Use this softly mottled fossil grey on fixed upholstery where its fine woven texture can add quiet depth to a neutral scheme.

Pairs well with

Lars Plain Fossil 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.
