Emett Slate

Orly Fabric

Emett Slate has a cool, muted slate-grey ground with a tightly drawn chevron weave running vertically across the surface. The close-up reveals subtle tonal flecks that give the colour depth without making the pattern feel busy.

About this fabric

The fabric is woven with small, repeated herringbone or broken-chevron lines, creating a neat graphic rhythm across the slate-grey face. Its charcoal and soft grey threads sit closely together, producing a gently mottled finish rather than a flat block colour. The structured weave reads as versatile enough for upholstery, cushions or curtains when a restrained, tailored texture is wanted. No composition, width, rub-test or other performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Emett Slate to bring a cool, grounded note to a room, particularly on a tailored chair, sofa or simple curtain. Set its fine chevron texture against plain linens, pale timber and warmer taupe accents to soften the slate tone.

Its cool slate-grey tone and fine chevron weave bring a tailored, quietly textured finish to upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Emett Slate without fighting it. 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.
