The Alabaster Fabric: Silver & Pewter Grey | 1925 Deco Collection

About This Design

Tonal silver-grey florals spread across this design with a quiet, embossed quality, each petal rendered in shades of the same cool grey rather than contrasting colour. The effect is closer to carved stone than printed fabric, light and shadow doing all the work that colour does elsewhere in the collection. The impasto effect is especially pronounced here, every petal edge raised and rounded, catching light in a way that shifts the pattern's visibility depending on the angle it's viewed from.

Up close, the layered florals reward real attention, the kind of detail you'd expect from carved alabaster or brushed pewter. From across a room, the whole surface settles into a soft, airy calm, nothing competing for attention, everything held in the same restrained palette. Against the saturated, jewel toned pieces in this collection, The Alabaster is the lightest and most classical, built on form rather than colour.

The Inspiration

This one grew from thinking about alabaster carving, translucent stone worked into fine relief, light passing through and catching every raised edge. Deco design had a real appetite for monochrome, tonal surfaces, plasterwork, metal relief, carved stone, all of it relying on form rather than pigment. The Alabaster takes that same instinct and lets a single cool grey carry the entire design.

What It Carries

There's a calm, classical quality to this design that suits a room built for lightness and rest, a bedroom, a bathroom, upholstery that wants to recede rather than dominate. The tonal palette keeps it airy and understated, letting texture do the talking. It's a design for people who want a room to feel serene and considered, without a single loud note.

Design Size Options

This design is available in three layout scales:

Grand: A larger-scale composition that reads with authority across statement furniture and feature walls.

Classic: A balanced, repeated layout with natural structure and rhythm. Works across most applications.

Detailed: A fine-scale repeat where the impasto texture becomes the surface itself. Ideal for scatter cushions, smaller upholstery panels, and layered soft furnishings.

💡 Style tip: Use a measuring tape to mark out 50cm on your planned project surface. That window shows you exactly how the Detailed scale brings texture and rhythm into a smaller space.
