Geneva Steel Grey

Geneva Fabric14

Geneva Steel Grey is a cool, softly lustrous grey with a clouded, textured surface that catches the light gently. The close-up pile gives it a quietly tactile, modern look rather than a flat plain.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a pale steel grey with a cool undertone, softened by a mottled, looped texture that adds depth across the surface. In the Geneva collection by J Brown, it is a plain design with 17 colourways, and this one has a light-reflective finish that makes the grey feel fresh rather than heavy. Made from 100% polyester and rated for Heavy Domestic use, it is designed to stand up to everyday seating while keeping a refined appearance. The 45,000 Martindale rating underlines its durability, and it is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available upon request. After care is professional dry clean in situ by a specialist cleaner used to handling this type of material.

How to use it

Use this steel grey on contemporary sofas, loose covers or dining chairs where a cool neutral is needed to balance timber, black metal or brushed chrome. Its pale tone also works well in bright rooms, lifting heavier schemes without losing a tailored, smart feel.

A crisp, versatile grey with a softly textured finish for tailored interiors.

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.
