Uitra Driftwood

1973 Fabric

Uitra Driftwood presents a restrained taupe-grey interpretation of the 1973 collection’s geometric pattern. Its softly layered circles, arcs and curved vertical forms create a measured, tonal surface rather than a high-contrast statement.

About this fabric

The image shows a repeating arrangement of circular outlines, segmented arcs and gently curved linear bands, all picked out in closely related grey-taupe tones. Subtle shifts between the lighter ground and slightly deeper pattern give the design a softly textured, woven appearance. The medium-scale repeat remains clearly legible while its muted colour keeps the overall effect calm and architectural. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Uitra Driftwood where a room needs pattern without strong colour contrast: its warm grey-taupe tone works particularly well on tailored upholstery, relaxed curtains or coordinating blinds.

Use the muted taupe-grey ground to bring quiet pattern and tonal depth to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

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