About this fabric

The fabric shows a tight, fine woven structure with a subtle small-scale variation rather than a printed motif. Cadet reads as a balanced blue-grey: cooler and deeper in the shadowed folds, with a soft silvery lift where the light catches the face. The cloth has enough visible body to hold clean folds while remaining suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications. It is catalogued as a fabric; no composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey as a calm foundation for a contemporary sofa, occasional chair or simple curtains, pairing it with pale stone, charcoal or brushed metal accents. The softly varied weave will add texture without introducing a strong pattern.

The cool blue-grey tone and fine woven texture bring quiet, tailored depth to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

Obscura Cadet 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.
