Amoret Performance Fossil

Amoret Performance Fossil has a quiet, earthy presence, appearing as a muted greige-taupe with subtle tonal shading across its plain woven surface. The close view shows a fine horizontal grain that gives the neutral colour gentle depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

This 280 gsm fabric has a 140 cm usable width and a dense specification of 130 threads per cm. Its warm fossil tone sits between soft grey and weathered beige, with the darker folded area showing how the shade deepens in shadow. The fine weave is visibly even and understated, while the specification records no vertical or horizontal pattern repeat. With its mid-weight handle and quiet surface, it is suited to both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Pair this warm greige-taupe with chalky whites, natural timber and aged bronze for a grounded, softly layered scheme. Its restrained tonal variation also works well on relaxed upholstery or full-length curtains where the weave can catch changing light.

Use this softly shaded taupe as a calm, versatile foundation for seating, blinds or curtains.

Pairs well with

Amoret Performance Fossil 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.
