About this fabric

The Marble colourway reads as a cool, mid grey, with darker threads breaking up the pale ground rather than forming a flat solid shade. Its woven surface is built from alternating horizontal and vertical thread groups, creating a tactile basket-like check across the swatch. The close-up shows a softly napped, textile-rich finish with subtle variation in tone as the threads catch the light. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this cool marled grey with pale oak, chalky stone and charcoal accents for a quiet contemporary upholstery scheme. Its restrained checked texture works especially well on a sofa, dining chair or occasional chair where a plain grey would feel too uniform.

Use this softly marled grey weave to bring understated texture to upholstered seating.

Basket - Marble 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.
