About this fabric

The close-up shows a compact woven construction with small interlocking blocks and delicate tonal variation rather than a printed motif. Its silver-grey colouring reads cool and lightly reflective, while warmer grey threads add depth within the weave. The restrained contrast keeps the surface refined and quietly textured. As a fabric in Dedar’s Fire-retardant collection, Abacus Silver has a smart, upholstery-led appearance based on its dense woven surface.

How to use it

Use Abacus Silver on a tailored sofa, dining chair or occasional chair where its cool grey tone can sit alongside pale stone, charcoal or brushed metal. Its quiet basketweave texture also works well as a balancing upholstery choice in rooms with stronger pattern or colour.

A cool silver-grey woven texture that brings quiet structure to tailored upholstery and contemporary interiors.

Pairs well with

Abacus Silver 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.
