Abacus Piombo

Name: Abacus Piombo

Abacus Piombo has a cool lead-grey tone, enlivened by fine black and taupe threads within a tightly structured weave. Its surface forms a restrained miniature grid that reads as textured rather than overtly patterned.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a dense woven construction made from closely packed horizontal and vertical threads, creating repeated small rectangular cells across the surface. The Piombo colourway sits between charcoal grey and muted taupe, with darker fibres adding definition and a softly varied, almost mineral depth. Light catches the raised threads gently, giving the cloth a subtle directional texture without a glossy finish. No further specification data is supplied for this fabric, so its compact, substantial-looking weave is the defining feature visible here.

How to use it

Use this cool lead-grey colourway on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its miniature grid can add quiet structure without dominating the room. Pair it with pale stone, charcoal, smoked timber or brushed metal for a restrained contemporary scheme.

A cool, tightly woven grey textile that brings subtle pattern and depth to upholstered seating.

Abacus Piombo 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.
