Name: Orbit Tungsten
Brand: Zinc Textile

City Fabric

Orbit Tungsten reads as a cool silver-grey, with a pale, irregular motif that breaks across the surface like softened stone. In the room setting, the cloth falls into deep, even pleats, while the textured pattern catches the light with restrained contrast.

About this fabric

This colourway stays on the cool side of grey, combining a silvery ground with clouded charcoal and pearl-like marks across the face. The irregular pattern gives the full-length curtains a softly variegated appearance, with darker traces emerging between the folds. Its subdued contrast adds depth without creating a bold, sharply defined graphic. Orbit Tungsten is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied details.

How to use it

Use Orbit Tungsten at tall windows with taupe, oyster and charcoal furnishings to echo its cool silver-grey range. Its muted, reflective surface also works well with brushed metal accents and softly textured upholstery.

Use this cool silver-grey colourway for full-length curtains where its softly reflective pattern can sit against warm neutral upholstery.

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