Name: Graph Ash

Graph Ash presents a cool ash-grey ground overlaid with dense, softly fragmented botanical forms. The pale and mid-grey marks create a layered, almost painterly surface with subtle woven depth.

About this fabric

The colourway moves between misty silver-grey and deeper graphite-grey, giving the pattern a restrained, cool-toned character. Its closely packed organic shapes run in a loose vertical rhythm, while small variations in tone keep the surface from appearing flat. Fine horizontal and vertical thread marks are visible across the image, adding a gently tactile, textile-like grain to the mottled design. No composition, width, rub test or performance features were supplied for this listing, so the fabric is described here by its visible surface only.

How to use it

Pair Graph Ash with chalky whites, pale stone and brushed metal for a cool, quietly modern room. Its layered grey pattern would also work well on a statement chair or full-length curtains where the tonal shifts can be seen across a larger area.

Use its cool ash-grey depth to bring quiet pattern and texture to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Graph Ash without fighting it. 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.
