About this fabric

This Meteorite colourway has the depth of a dark taupe-brown neutral, broken up by scattered pale highlights that give the plain a softly mineral, almost stone-like character. The surface reads as a tightly worked textile with a low, even texture rather than a flat dyed cloth. Made in 100% Polyester for contract use, it is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852 and has a high 80,000 Martindale rating. Professional Dry Clean in situ or washable at 40°C makes it practical for busy schemes where the colour needs to stay composed and understated.

How to use it

Use this shade on sofas, banquettes or headboards where a grounded neutral will sit comfortably with oak, walnut and dark metal finishes. Its cooler taupe cast works especially well with bone, stone and inky accent colours.

A versatile contract neutral with a softly weathered look.

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.
