About this fabric

The surface combines a muted fossil base with lighter and darker flecks, giving the colourway a gently variegated depth rather than a flat block of colour. Fine vertical interruptions run through the weave, creating a tactile, almost softly brushed appearance without a defined printed motif. The dense-looking textile is best classified for upholstery from its visible weight and compact woven texture. No composition, width, rub test or performance features have been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm grey taupe on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its uneven texture can soften clean architectural forms. Pair it with chalky stone, aged timber and darker brown-grey accents to draw out the fossil-like tonal variation.

Its warm fossil taupe and quietly irregular surface bring depth to upholstered seating without introducing a bold motif.

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.
