Fontaine Storm

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.

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