Orly Fabric

Orly Lead presents a deep, cool grey with the quiet visual depth of a finely mottled weave. Its near-charcoal tone is softened by subtle lighter threads across the surface.

About this fabric

This Orly colourway is a dark lead grey rather than a flat black, giving the swatch a more nuanced and versatile appearance. Fine tonal variation runs through the weave, creating a softly textured effect that becomes more apparent under changing light. The compact-looking surface reads as suitably substantial for upholstery, while its restrained texture keeps the finish smart and contemporary. The overall impression is cool, understated and architectural.

How to use it

Use Orly Lead on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its charcoal depth can anchor a room. Balance the cool grey with chalky walls, pale oak or warm beige textiles to prevent the scheme from feeling too stark.

Pair this deep lead grey with pale timber, brushed metal or warm neutrals for a composed, contemporary scheme.

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.
