Brindille Silverbirch

Name: Brindille Silverbirch
Brand: Mark Alexander

Brindille Silverbirch pairs a deep charcoal ground with a softly contrasting silver-grey form that travels diagonally across the surface. The motif has a visibly raised, corded texture, giving the colourway quiet depth rather than a flat printed appearance.

About this fabric

The dark charcoal background reads almost black in the swatch, while the silverbirch motif appears cool grey and lightly reflective against it. Its winding line bends and narrows across the image, creating an organic movement that feels more graphic than floral. Fine ridges within the pale motif and the softly textured ground give the fabric a tactile, dimensional character. With no performance or technical specification supplied, this description is based on the visible surface and colour only.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal colourway to bring definition to a tailored chair, headboard or sofa, especially alongside pale stone, chalky grey and brushed metal. The silver-grey winding motif can act as a restrained feature against a darker, tonal scheme.

The cool charcoal ground and dimensional silver-grey motif bring tailored contrast to contemporary upholstery.

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.
