Roden Gris

Roden Gris is a cool, pale grey woven textile with a quiet, finely gridded surface. Its restrained colour is lifted by the subtle contrast between lighter and darker threads visible across the swatch.

About this fabric

The close, even weave creates a fine crosshatched texture rather than a completely flat surface. Roden Gris reads as a soft silver grey overall, with tiny graphite-toned threads adding gentle depth through the cloth. The tightly packed structure gives the colour a clean, composed appearance, while the minute tonal variation keeps it from feeling stark or one-dimensional.

How to use it

Use Roden Gris to introduce a cool, light grey note on an armchair, sofa or window treatment, particularly alongside crisp whites, pale woods and other quiet neutrals. Its fine woven texture can soften a modern scheme without introducing a strong motif.

A cool, finely woven grey that brings quiet texture to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Roden Gris 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.
