Heritage Panama Zinc

Helix Fabric

Heritage Panama Zinc is a quietly polished grey with a cool zinc cast and a subtle woven surface. The plain, close texture gives it a clean, understated look that reads smart rather than stark.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and supplied at 140cm wide, Heritage Panama Zinc has a neat, all-over plain structure with no pattern repeat. In this colourway, the grey sits in the middle of the spectrum: cool, muted and softly metallic, with just enough warmth in the base to keep it from feeling flat. The fine weave catches the light gently, giving the cloth a smooth matte finish rather than a hard shine. It is a versatile textile for schemes that need a restrained neutral with a little depth and texture.

How to use it

Use this zinc grey to ground pale timber, black accents or crisp white walls, where its cool tone will sharpen the room without overpowering it. It is especially effective on simple upholstered pieces and tailored curtains that benefit from a calm, refined neutral.

A calm metallic-grey cotton that works neatly on upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

Heritage Panama Zinc 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.
