Makoto Dove combines a cool dove-grey ground with broken charcoal and ivory marks in a dense, tactile weave. The tonal contrast gives the abstract pattern a softly graphic, vertically drifting appearance.

About this fabric

Makoto Dove is a dense, cool dove-grey ground threaded with darker charcoal-grey texture and pale, irregular vertical marks. The marks resemble narrow, broken leaves or brush strokes, while the tightly built surface gives the swatch visible depth and softness. At 529 gsm, the cloth has a substantial upholstery-led weight, with 92 threads per cm recorded for its construction. Its 38 cm vertical and 16.5 cm horizontal repeats give the directional motif a measured rhythm across the 137 cm usable width.

How to use it

Pair Makoto Dove with chalky whites, pale timber and charcoal accents for a calm, cool scheme, or use it on a statement chair where the broken vertical motif can be appreciated up close.

Use this cool dove-grey weave to bring quiet texture and graphic movement to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Makoto Dove 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.
