Orta Skylight

Orta Fabric

Orta Skylight has a pale, cool-toned ground where blue, lilac and soft grey threads mingle in a finely textured woven surface. The understated colour variation gives the plain design gentle depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

Woven from 43% linen, 51% viscose and 6% polyester, Orta Skylight measures approximately 137cm wide. Its closely set, pebble-like weave is visibly flecked with chalky cream and muted blue-grey alongside the blue-lilac base, creating a softly weathered effect. This colourway is listed for curtains and fixed upholstery, with Contract and General Domestic upholstery grades. After-care is dry clean.

How to use it

Pair this cool, misty blue-lilac with pale timber, chalky neutrals or brushed metal for an airy scheme; use it on curtains to emphasise its light, quietly variegated tone or on fixed upholstery for a more tailored finish.

Use the cool blue-lilac ground to bring a quietly airy finish to curtains, occasional seating or fixed upholstery.

Orta Skylight 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.
