Orta Fabric

Orta Alabaster is a quiet, pale cream textile with a gently varied woven surface. Its soft alabaster tone is lifted by fine greige threads that give the plain cloth subtle depth.

About this fabric

The close plain weave combines fine horizontal and vertical texture, creating a softly slubbed surface rather than a completely flat finish. Its alabaster colour reads as a warm, lightly greige cream, with the raised threads catching the light unevenly across the swatch. Approximately 137cm wide, Orta is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery in Contract and General Domestic settings. It is made from 43% linen, 51% viscose and 6% polyester, with dry-clean care.

How to use it

Use this pale alabaster colourway to soften tailored curtains or bring quiet texture to a light neutral sofa or chair. Pair it with warm whites, limestone, pale oak and muted grey-beige accents.

A softly textured pale neutral for calm curtains, fixed upholstery and understated interiors.

Pairs well with

Orta Alabaster 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.
