Athénée Vellum

Athénée Vellum has a quiet, pale vellum ground crossed by irregular flowing lines that resemble softened woodgrain or contour marks. Its subtle tonal contrast gives the surface gentle movement without making the colourway feel busy.

About this fabric

The warm ivory-cream base is overlaid with slightly lighter, undulating lines, creating a fluid abstract pattern across the cloth. Fine horizontal texture is visible beneath the design, adding a restrained woven character and allowing the surface to catch the light softly. Athénée Vellum is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. Its low-contrast pattern and light tone keep the overall effect serene and polished.

How to use it

Use Athénée Vellum for full-length curtains where its pale cream tone can soften strong architectural lines, or pair it with chalk, oatmeal and warm timber finishes. The flowing pattern also works well alongside quiet, tonal upholstery rather than competing motifs.

A softly textured cream textile for calm curtains and tonal, layered schemes.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Athénée Vellum without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.
