About this fabric

The design is formed from small angled bands that link across the surface in a regular basket-like rhythm. Pale grey and slightly darker graphite-grey lines define the pattern, while the weave softens the edges rather than making them appear printed or glossy. This textile is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification. The restrained tonal contrast keeps the geometric structure visible while maintaining a calm overall impression.

How to use it

Use this cool grey colourway to add quiet pattern to a contemporary armchair, headboard or tailored curtain, especially alongside chalk white, charcoal and pale timber. Its small-scale geometry can also sit comfortably with larger plain textures.

A cool, finely textured geometric weave that brings quiet structure to upholstery, cushions or tailored drapery.

Pairs well with

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