Padua in this cool charcoal grey has a compact, even flat weave with fine darker and lighter threads creating a restrained salt-and-pepper surface. The close-up shows a quiet tonal depth rather than a printed pattern, giving the fabric a clean contemporary presence.

About this fabric

Woven from 100% rPET, this 138cm-wide fabric has a tightly structured surface that reads as a versatile upholstery cloth. The charcoal ground is softened by closely interlaced grey and darker threads, so the colour shifts subtly across the weave instead of appearing completely flat. Padua is rated for both contract and domestic upholstery and carries Contract GreenFR® Plus flame retardancy. It is also machine washable, adding practical ease to its smart, understated appearance.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal grey on sofas, dining chairs or occasional upholstery where its small-scale woven texture can add depth without introducing a strong motif. Pair it with pale timber, brushed metal and soft off-whites to keep the scheme crisp, or use it to ground cooler blue-grey accents.

A tightly woven charcoal grey upholstery with a subtle salt-and-pepper texture for contemporary seating.

PAD4001_2024-11-04-135904_LLVB 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.
