Obie Slate
Elson Fabric
Obie Slate combines a softened slate-taupe ground with closely spaced vertical stripes in a chalky ivory tone. The slightly irregular lines and visible textile grain give the pattern a measured, tactile character.

About this fabric
Catalogued as a fabric, Obie Slate has a fine, closely repeated stripe arrangement that reads clearly from a distance while retaining a textured surface up close. The cool slate-taupe base is deeper than the ivory lines, creating restrained definition without a stark black-and-white contrast. Slight variations in the stripe edges add a handmade-looking softness to the otherwise orderly vertical layout.
How to use it
Use Obie Slate to add quiet vertical rhythm to a tailored armchair, headboard or full-length curtain, pairing its cool slate-taupe tone with warm timber, ivory and brushed metal.
Use the cool slate-taupe ground to bring composed contrast to upholstery, curtains or tailored cushions.

Pairs well with
Obie Slate 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.
