Fontaine Storm

Name: Fontaine Storm
Brand: Zinc Textile

Fontaine Storm pairs a cool, pale storm-grey ground with tightly repeated diagonal bands, creating a crisp herringbone surface across the swatch. Fine tonal variation within the weave gives the colourway quiet depth rather than a flat grey finish.

About this fabric

Fontaine Storm is built from closely spaced diagonal bands that interlock into a crisp herringbone repeat. The pale storm-grey ground is crossed by darker graphite-grey edges, giving the pattern definition without a hard or high-contrast colour break. Soft, irregular shading within the bands keeps the surface from looking flat and adds a lightly weathered woven character. No performance features or further specifications are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool storm-grey colourway to bring a composed, architectural note to a contemporary sofa, occasional chair or restrained pair of curtains. Its softened contrast works particularly well with chalky whites, charcoal accents and other cool neutrals.

Use the cool storm-grey herringbone as a quietly textured foundation for tailored upholstery or softly structured window treatments.

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.
