Bordure Plaster

Name: Bordure Plaster

Bordure Plaster reads as a quiet plaster ivory in the swatch, with pale grey shading settling into its irregular woven channels. The close-up reveals a softly tufted surface of fine loops and horizontal ridges.

About this fabric

Bordure Plaster is a very pale plaster-ivory textile, with a faint cool-grey cast in the shadows between its fibres. Its surface is built from small, uneven loops and raised horizontal ridges, giving the swatch a softly broken, tactile finish rather than a flat colour. The close view shows a chunky, open-looking weave with loose, fringe-like fibres at the edges, so its depth changes as light moves across it. No composition, width, rub test or other performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this pale, chalky neutral to upholster an occasional chair or other piece where its looped texture can be appreciated up close. Its low-contrast ivory and grey shading will soften an arrangement without introducing a strong colour statement.

A chalky ivory textile with a softly tactile, looped surface for relaxed upholstery.

Pairs well with

Bordure Plaster 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.
