Tosca Atlantic

Name: Tosca Atlantic
Brand: Mark Alexander

Tosca Atlantic is a cool blue-grey textile with a tightly grained, almost pebbled surface. Its restrained colour shifts between slate and softened charcoal as the weave catches the light.

About this fabric

The close-up reveals a compact woven texture made from fine, irregular threads rather than a printed motif. Atlantic’s blue-grey tone has a cool, mineral character, with lighter flecks breaking through the deeper ground to give the surface subtle movement. The dense grain makes the fabric read as considered and quietly tailored rather than soft or decorative. With no performance or composition specification supplied, its suitability here is judged from the visibly substantial, close-set weave.

How to use it

Use Tosca Atlantic on a tailored sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool slate character can balance warm wood, cream upholstery and brushed metal. Keep surrounding patterns simple so the small-scale weave remains the source of texture.

Use this cool blue-grey texture to bring quiet depth to upholstered seating, especially alongside pale timber, stone or soft neutrals.

Pairs well with

Tosca Atlantic 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.
