About this fabric

This colourway sits in a smoky pewter range, with cool grey depth broken by fine warm brown and olive notes across the weave. The finish in the swatch is not flat; it catches the light in a slightly mottled way that gives the plain a lived-in, textured character. Made from 100% polyester and specified for contract use, it is built for demanding schemes as well as everyday wear. The 80,000 Martindale rating and supplied back coating to Cigarette & Match to BS5852 make it a practical choice where durability and compliance matter. After care is professional dry clean in situ or washable at 40°C, with further guidance in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use Modena Pewter on sofas, banquettes or desk chairs where you want a restrained, modern neutral with a little warmth. It pairs especially well with oak, black metal and pale stone finishes.

A versatile pewter tone that brings a subtle, contract-friendly sophistication to seating and panels.

Pairs well with

Modena Pewter 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.
