About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Carrera Chrome is specified for contract use and carries an 80,000 Martindale, making it a hard-working choice for seating and other busy interior settings. The fabric is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request. Visually, this colourway reads as a pale silver-grey with a faint warm mistiness, broken by fine linear striations that soften the overall look. The surface has a lightly brushed, textile depth rather than a flat finish, so it feels restrained but not stark.

How to use it

Use this chrome grey on tailored sofas, banquettes or office chairs where a cool, polished neutral is needed. It sits especially well with black timber, white finishes and sharper accent colours such as ink blue or charcoal.

A cool metallic-grey plain that lends itself to clean, contemporary schemes.

Pairs well with

Carrera Chrome 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.
