About this fabric

The swatch combines a muted blue-grey ground with tiny contrasting threads that give the surface a softly grainy depth. Fine vertical channels run irregularly from top to bottom, creating understated stripe movement without a high-contrast pattern. No composition, width, rub-test or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway. Its dense, structured appearance reads as a considered upholstery textile rather than a fluid, lightweight cloth.

How to use it

Use the cool slate tone to upholster a tailored armchair, dining chair or sofa, pairing it with pale stone, chalky grey and warm timber to soften the blue-grey cast. The vertical texture will add quiet direction to clean-lined furniture.

A cool slate blue-grey weave with fine vertical movement for tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Abaca Blue 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.
