Barbier Driftwood

Jazz Ii Fabric

Barbier Driftwood has a restrained taupe-grey ground with a repeating interlocking pattern of angular, chevron-like forms. Fine linear ribbing within the weave gives the surface a subtle, tactile depth.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a muted driftwood grey with a gentle brown undertone, rather than a cool silver grey. Darker outlined bands define the linked geometric shapes, while the closely spaced woven lines soften their graphic edges. Its visible mid-weight woven appearance makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No composition, width, rub-test or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Barbier Driftwood to add measured pattern to a taupe, stone or charcoal scheme; its softened grey-brown tone works especially well on a structured chair, headboard or full-length curtain.

A quietly graphic taupe-grey weave that brings structure to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Barbier Driftwood 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.
