16 Feather
Solara Fabric16
Solara 16 Feather has a deep taupe-grey ground marked by fine, uneven vertical striations. The close-set lines create a quietly dimensional surface, with lighter threads catching through the darker shade.

About this fabric
This Wemyss fabric reads as a muted charcoal taupe rather than a flat grey, giving the colourway a warm, grounded depth. Its narrow vertical markings vary subtly in width and direction, producing an organic strié effect across the cloth. The lightly raised, irregular weave adds tactile interest without introducing a separate motif or strong contrast. The directional texture would give upholstered forms a softly tailored, elongated appearance.
How to use it
Use 16 Feather on a compact sofa, dining chair or headboard where its deep taupe-grey tone can anchor softer neutrals. Pair it with chalky stone, warm timber and brushed metal to bring out the subtle light-and-dark movement in the striation.
Its deep taupe-grey tone and directional striation suit tailored upholstery and quietly layered interiors.

Pairs well with
16 Feather 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.
