About this fabric

The colour sits between cool grey and muted taupe, with a smoky, balanced quality that avoids looking stark. A fine woven texture runs across the surface, while softly shifting threads create the impression of delicate mottling in the flat shade. There is no visible pattern or contrasting motif, so the fabric reads as calm and quietly tailored. Its mid-scale, even appearance makes it suitable for upholstery and drapery where a subtle textural neutral is preferred.

How to use it

Use 39 Elephant to temper warmer rooms with a quiet smoky grey, pairing it with taupe, stone and aged wood. It also works as a composed backdrop for darker charcoal, olive or muted blue accents.

A softly mottled elephant-grey weave that brings quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

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.
