Amalfi Shale

Amalfi FabricCCF0327-57

Amalfi Shale has a muted green-grey tone that reads cool, weathered and quietly layered across its finely woven surface. The plain construction is enlivened by subtle shifts between pale grey and soft mineral green.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a dense, lightly slubbed weave with fine horizontal and vertical yarns forming a restrained crosshatch texture. Its shale colouring is more softened green-grey than straightforward silver grey, giving the surface a calm, earthy depth without a pronounced pattern. At 370gsm, this is a substantial woven fabric suited to upholstery applications. It has a 137cm usable width, with no vertical or horizontal pattern repeat, allowing the plain texture to be handled efficiently across panels and upholstered forms.

How to use it

Use Amalfi Shale on an occasional chair, sofa or headboard where its cool green-grey tone can sit alongside chalky whites, weathered timber, stone and warm oak. Keep surrounding fabrics tonal to let the fine woven texture provide the visual interest.

A softly textured green-grey weave with enough visual depth for understated upholstery and calm, tonal interiors.

Pairs well with

Amalfi Shale 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.
