Oblique Zinc presents a soft, cool zinc-grey ground crossed by closely spaced angular lines. The restrained contrast gives the small geometric pattern a finely drawn, almost architectural quality.

About this fabric

The repeated zigzag motif is made from narrow grey lines that move horizontally across the zinc-toned ground, creating a subtle chevron rhythm rather than a bold graphic statement. Its vertical pattern repeat is 2.7 cm, while the horizontal repeat is 0 cm, keeping the directional line continuous across the width. Supplied at a usable width of 68.6 cm and a standard length of 10.05 m, this wallpaper has a listed weight of 163 gsm. In this colourway, the cool grey palette remains muted and softly blended, allowing the angular detail to emerge gently as the light shifts across the surface.

How to use it

Use Oblique Zinc to bring quiet structure to a cool contemporary room, where its pale grey tone can sit alongside chalky whites, silvered timber and blue-grey upholstery. It also works as a calm backdrop for stronger sculptural furniture, adding pattern without competing for attention.

A quiet, cool-toned geometric wallpaper for adding fine rhythm without visual heaviness.

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