Rex Rex

Yeti Fabric

Rex Rex has a striking pale silver-grey appearance, with a dense plush surface that catches the light across its softly irregular pile. The cool shade reads almost frosted in the brighter folds, while deeper areas add smoky depth.

About this fabric

Shown in Zinc Textile’s Yeti collection, Rex Rex is a heavy-looking, tactile textile with a soft fur-like pile and no visible printed motif. Its pale silver-grey tone shifts from bright, icy highlights to darker graphite-grey recesses where the pile turns and folds. The generous surface texture makes the colour feel dimensional rather than flat, giving upholstery a distinctly cocooning, luxe character. No further composition, width or performance specification is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this cool silver-grey with charcoal upholstery, dark timber and brushed metal for a moody contemporary scheme. Its plush texture also works as an accent on a deep chair, ottoman or occasional cushion where the pile can be appreciated.

Use the icy silver-grey pile to bring tactile softness and a luxurious, wintery feel to upholstered seating or cushions.

Rex Rex is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
