Name: Tosca Glacier
Brand: Mark Alexander

Tosca Glacier is a pale, cool grey textile with a finely textured surface. Subtle shifts between lighter and darker threads give the plain weave gentle depth without a visible motif.

About this fabric

The close, even weave creates a softly irregular texture across the surface, while the glacier-grey tone remains light and restrained. Fine tonal flecks prevent the colour from appearing flat, bringing a muted, mineral quality to the cloth. Its low-contrast surface has a quietly smart character and reads as versatile in both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Tosca Glacier to introduce a cool, pale grey foundation to a room, pairing it with chalky whites, silvered timber or deeper charcoal accents. Its fine woven texture adds depth particularly well where a plain fabric is preferred over a patterned design.

A cool, finely woven grey with quiet visual texture for understated upholstery or drapery schemes.

Pairs well with

Tosca Glacier 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.
