Micro Aluminium

Micro Aluminium is a pale, cool grey textile with a fine woven surface that gives the colour a softly metallic, quietly variegated appearance. Its close texture is subtle rather than patterned, allowing the light grey tone to remain the focus.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a close, even weave with tiny horizontal and vertical variations that create a restrained crosshatched texture. Its aluminium-grey colouring reads cool and light, while the fine surface detail prevents it from appearing flat or stark. The visible construction suggests a versatile mid-weight fabric suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this cool aluminium grey with crisp white, pale timber and blue-grey accents for a calm contemporary scheme. Its understated weave also works well on tailored upholstery or full-length curtains where gentle texture is preferred over a visible motif.

Use this softly metallic grey weave to bring a cool, quietly textured finish to seating, cushions or curtains.

Pairs well with

Micro 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.
