About this fabric

The close, tactile weave is visibly layered rather than flat, with darker and lighter blue-grey threads creating a softly weathered vertical grain. It is catalogued as Fabric, and no performance features or further specification data are noted for this colourway. The Aluminium shade stays muted and cool across the swatch, reading more like smoky graphite-blue than bright silver.

How to use it

Use this cool graphite-blue upholstery on a contemporary sofa, armchair or headboard where its subtle vertical grain can add depth without introducing a strong motif. It pairs naturally with pale stone, charcoal and brushed metal accents.

Its cool graphite-blue tone brings understated depth to contemporary upholstery.

Pairs well with

Ashton Aluminium 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.
