About this fabric
The close weave combines pale and charcoal-grey threads in a small, irregular grain that reads as gently mottled rather than patterned. Light catches the tiny raised texture unevenly, adding depth without creating shine or a strong directional effect. The balanced grey tone feels cool, calm and smart, making the colourway particularly suited to understated upholstery. No composition, width or rub-test data is supplied for this fabric.
How to use it
Use Olavi Magnet on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard alongside chalky whites, pale timber and blue-grey accents. Its cool mid-grey tone also works as a quiet foundation for darker charcoal or brushed-metal details.
A cool, finely textured grey that brings quiet depth to upholstered seating and tonal schemes.

Olavi Magnet 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.
