Orta Fabric

Orta Rocksalt appears as a pale, cool greige, with tiny cream and grey yarns forming a close plain weave. Its lightly irregular surface gives the otherwise quiet colour a tactile, softly mottled finish.

About this fabric

The weave combines fine horizontal and vertical yarns with small slubs, creating a gentle nubby texture rather than a smooth, uniform face. Its 43% linen, 51% viscose and 6% polyester composition gives this light neutral colourway a softly varied appearance as the surface catches the light. At approximately 137cm wide, it is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery and carries Contract and General Domestic upholstery grades. After-care is dry clean.

How to use it

Use Rocksalt where a cool, pale neutral is needed to soften upholstery or full-length curtains without introducing a strong pattern. Its subtle grey-cream depth works particularly well alongside chalky whites, pale woods and restrained blue-grey accents.

Pairs well with

Orta Rocksalt 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.
