Kota Shadow

Kota Shadow is a cool blue-grey woven textile with a dense, fine horizontal grain. Pale flecks catch across the surface, giving the shadowed ground a softly illuminated, tactile appearance.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a closely woven surface with delicate horizontal movement and fine, irregular flecking rather than a defined motif. Its blue-grey tone is cool and muted, shifting gently between slate-like depth and lighter silvery threads as the texture catches the light. The visible cloth reads as a versatile mid-weight suitable to consider for upholstery or drapery. No composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Kota Shadow to bring a quiet, cool base to seating or curtains, balancing its slate-blue cast with warm timber, ivory walls or charcoal details.

Pair its cool blue-grey depth with pale timber, chalky neutrals or darker charcoal accents.

Pairs well with

Kota Shadow 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.
