Pythagoras Multi

Name: Pythagoras Multi
Brand: Zinc Textile

Pythagoras Multi brings a quiet, architectural rhythm to the Spinner collection, with pale blue-grey, taupe and mauve-grey forms layered across a softly textured ground. Its low-contrast palette gives the angular design a calm, atmospheric quality.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric from Zinc Textile’s Spinner collection, Pythagoras Multi is defined by broad, overlapping triangular shapes. Pale blue-grey areas sit beside warm taupe sections, while muted mauve-grey adds a cooler shadow through the centre of the design. The surface appears fine and even, with a subtle horizontal grain and a soft matte finish rather than a glossy sheen. No further specification data is supplied, so the fabric is described here by its visible colour, geometry and texture.

How to use it

Use Pythagoras Multi at a window where its pale blue-grey ground can catch natural light, then echo the taupe and mauve-grey accents with warm neutral upholstery, timber or stone.

Pair the muted blue-grey, taupe and mauve geometry with warm neutrals and softly tailored furnishings.

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