Origami Moleskin
Compass Fabric
Origami Moleskin presents a deep graphite-grey ground covered in a tightly repeated geometric diamond pattern. The close-up reveals a woven surface where lighter threads gently define the angular forms.

About this fabric
The colour reads as a cool, smoky grey rather than a warm charcoal, giving the pattern a restrained and architectural quality. Repeated diamonds and zigzag edges run across the cloth in closely spaced vertical formations, with small flecks of lighter grey adding visual depth. Its dense woven appearance and softly irregular thread detail keep the design tactile rather than starkly graphic. This colourway is especially suited to upholstery where its measured pattern can bring interest without dominating the form.
How to use it
Use the graphite-grey tone on a tailored armchair, bench or sofa, pairing it with pale stone, chalk or deep ink accents to echo the subtle contrast within the weave.
Use the deep graphite ground to bring quiet pattern and tailored texture to upholstered seating.

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.
