Apex Silver pairs a cool silver-grey ground with ivory, creating a finely scaled geometric weave with a crisp, quietly graphic presence. The close pattern gives the swatch gentle visual movement without overwhelming its pale tonal palette.

About this fabric

This woven fabric is built around repeated slender diamond and zigzag forms, with silver-grey threads breaking through the ivory ground in a softly textured, ikat-like effect. Its 5cm vertical repeat and 2.3cm horizontal repeat create a compact pattern that reads evenly across the width. At 313gsm and 136cm usable width, Apex Silver is a versatile mid-weight choice for both upholstery and drapery. The cool, lightly mottled tone catches the light subtly, keeping the overall look refined rather than stark.

How to use it

Use Apex Silver to upholster a clean-lined occasional chair or sofa where its small geometric repeat can add definition without dominating the room. For windows, its cool silver-grey and ivory palette works especially well with white, pale grey, chalky blue and brushed metal accents.

A cool silver-grey and ivory geometric weave that brings crisp pattern and subtle texture to upholstery or drapery.

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