Sumi Silver/Dove

Momentum Volume 7 & 8 FabricHAF0194-02

Sumi Silver/Dove combines a warm taupe-grey woven ground with cool, pale dove-silver lines that intersect in an irregular geometric network. The contrast is muted rather than stark, allowing the angular pattern to read with quiet depth.

About this fabric

The 390gsm cloth has a fine horizontal woven texture beneath irregular angular bands in a cooler dove silver. Lines cross, overlap and form uneven geometric shapes, giving the surface a distinctly architectural character without a strong directional flow. Its 142cm usable width carries a 142cm horizontal repeat and 77cm vertical repeat, creating a broad-scale pattern across upholstery panels. With 114 threads per cm and a listed standard length of 50m, this is a substantial woven textile with a composed, tailored presence.

How to use it

Use Sumi Silver/Dove on a structured sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its warm taupe-grey base can soften the geometry. Pair it with chalky whites, natural timber and cool silver-grey accents to draw out the dove-toned lines.

The warm taupe-grey ground and cool dove-silver geometry bring a measured architectural feel to upholstered furniture.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Sumi Silver/Dove without fighting it. 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.
