Stresa Elephant is a deep, cool grey upholstery fabric with a finely grained woven surface. Its close-up texture reveals a subtle salt-and-pepper effect, giving the dark shade more depth than a flat charcoal.

About this fabric

The fabric has a plain, tightly woven appearance, with tiny light and dark threads forming a restrained crosshatch across the elephant-grey ground. Supplied at approximately 137cm wide, it is specified for fixed upholstery and carries Contract and General Domestic usage grades. Its composition is 55% Acrylic, 16% Recycled Polyester, 15% Viscose, 9% Polyester and 5% Linen. After-care is Dry Clean.

How to use it

Use Stresa Elephant on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its cool charcoal-grey tone can anchor softer neutrals, pale timber and brushed metal. The subtle woven variation helps the shade feel considered rather than stark.

Use this deep elephant grey weave to bring quiet structure and tonal depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Stresa Elephant 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.
