Poacea Fossil

Poacea Fossil pairs a pale ivory ground with closely spaced fossil-grey botanical sprigs. The restrained contrast lets the repeated leaf motif read as texture as much as pattern, while the woven surface gives the swatch visible depth.

About this fabric

This substantial fabric weighs 499 gsm and has a 130 cm usable width, making it well suited to upholstery. Small stylised sprigs repeat at 16.5 cm vertically and 17.5 cm horizontally, forming an even all-over arrangement rather than a dominant statement motif. The fossil-grey marks are softly muted against ivory, with the tonal weave adding gentle variation instead of a flat printed appearance. It is supplied in a standard 35 m length and has 51 threads per cm.

How to use it

Use Poacea Fossil on a chair, sofa or bench where its cool, pale grey-beige tone can sit comfortably with ivory, chalk, stone and washed timber. Its small repeat works especially well across shaped upholstery without overwhelming the form.

A quietly patterned, substantial weave for upholstered seating, bringing soft fossil-grey definition to pale neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

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