Salient Storm

Outline Fabric

Salient Storm presents a cool stone-grey ground covered with a tightly repeated geometric pattern. Its restrained tonal contrast gives the surface a quiet, architectural rhythm while the woven texture remains visible.

About this fabric

The small-scale design combines elongated oval forms with stepped, angular blocks arranged in orderly vertical repeats. Several close grey tones create gentle depth rather than a high-contrast graphic effect, and the directional weave subtly catches the light across the surface. The catalogue lists this as a fabric, with no performance features or further specification data supplied. Its even, textured appearance makes it suitable to consider for either upholstery or drapery.

How to use it

Use Salient Storm to bring a cool, composed note to a room with light oak, chalky walls and charcoal details. The small geometric repeat works particularly well on a tailored chair, bench or softly gathered window treatment where its tonal pattern can be appreciated up close.

Pair this cool grey geometric weave with pale timber, charcoal accents or softly contrasting neutral 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.
