Quarzo Slate

Metalli FabricCCF0525-05

Quarzo Slate is a cool, mid-to-deep slate grey woven with fine angular lines forming a closely spaced, linked geometric pattern. Its subtly varied surface catches the light across the grey ground, giving the colourway restrained depth.

About this fabric

At 401 gsm, this substantial textile is well suited to upholstery, where its textured weave can give chairs, sofas and headboards a quietly tailored finish. The small geometric repeat measures 8.5 cm vertically by 5.5 cm horizontally, creating rhythm without overwhelming the slate tone. A 135 cm usable width supports practical upholstery cutting, while the standard length is 40 m. The cool grey reads more charcoal than silver, with darker drawn lines and softly lighter woven facets visible across the surface.

How to use it

Pair Quarzo Slate with pale stone, chalky grey or smoked timber to emphasise its cool, architectural character. On a statement chair or contemporary sofa, the small angular repeat adds definition while keeping the overall look calm and sophisticated.

Use this cool slate-grey geometric weave to bring quiet structure and depth to upholstered seating.

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