Forma Charcoal/Gold

Metalli FabricCCF0487-02

Forma Charcoal/Gold shows a cool, pale charcoal-grey ground crossed by broad textured gold bands in an open hexagonal framework. The gold catches the light softly against the restrained grey, giving this colourway a polished yet quiet presence.

About this fabric

At 98gsm, Forma is a light textile with a fine, subtly visible surface texture that suits its airy geometric layout. The pale charcoal-grey ground reads cooler and softer than a deep charcoal, while the woven-looking gold bands bring warmth and gentle metallic depth. Its large hexagonal pattern has a 28.5cm vertical repeat and a 34.5cm horizontal repeat, making the lattice clearly legible across the cloth. A 297cm usable width provides generous coverage for full-height drapery.

How to use it

Pair this cool pale-grey and gold colourway with soft grey upholstery, brushed brass details or warm ivory walls. Hang it at full length so the open hexagonal lines and softly shimmering bands remain visible.

Use the cool pale-grey ground to soften rooms, while the textured gold lattice adds a refined metallic accent at the window.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Forma Charcoal/Gold 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.
