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.

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.
