Apron Stripe Dufour

Zoffany x Michael Smith Indoor Outdoor Fabric OutdoorZOF0241-05

Apron Stripe Dufour is a cool blue-grey stripe with a tightly drawn, finely textured surface. The close vertical lines give the swatch a quiet, architectural rhythm rather than a bold striped effect.

About this fabric

The muted blue-grey ground is threaded with closely spaced darker and lighter vertical lines, creating a subtly variegated finish as the light moves across the weave. Its 320 gsm weight gives the cloth a substantial handle suited to upholstered outdoor seating. The pattern has no vertical repeat and a compact 1.5 cm horizontal repeat, so the stripe remains consistent across the 150 cm usable width. With 49 threads per centimetre and an Outdoor performance designation, this is a densely woven, practical choice for exterior upholstery.

How to use it

Pair this cool blue-grey colourway with pale stone, weathered timber or charcoal frames to create an outdoor setting with a crisp, tailored feel. The narrow vertical stripe also brings definition to generously proportioned cushions and seat pads without overpowering them.

Use this cool blue-grey stripe on outdoor seating where its disciplined vertical rhythm can sharpen a relaxed scheme.

Pairs well with

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