Altair French Grey
Tailored Fabric
Altair French Grey has a cool, pale grey ground with closely spaced vertical tonal bands visible across the woven surface. The fine ribbed texture gives the colourway a restrained sense of movement without introducing a bold pattern.

About this fabric
The swatch reads as a soft French grey, with lighter and darker vertical lines creating subtle depth as the light moves across the cloth. Its finely textured weave and narrow striping give the surface a neat, tailored character rather than a flat plain finish. This textile is catalogued as Fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. The quiet contrast makes the colourway suitable for schemes that need definition while remaining cool and understated.
How to use it
Pair this cool French grey with crisp white, pale oak and brushed metal for a clean, architectural room, or use it to temper deeper charcoal and blue-grey accents. The vertical texture would add discreet height and rhythm to full-length curtains as well as tailored seating.
Use the cool grey tone and fine vertical texture to bring quiet structure to curtains, blinds or tailored upholstery.
Pairs well with
Altair French Grey 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.
