About this fabric

The colour reads as a soft, cool grey rather than a warm stone or beige, with a light silver quality across the swatch. A minute, even weave creates a delicate granular texture that becomes more apparent at close range. Tiny changes in the thread direction catch the light gently, keeping the surface quiet but not completely flat. The restrained tone and neat construction give this colourway a clean, smart appearance.

How to use it

Use Shutter Aliminium to bring a cool, pale base to contemporary upholstery, pairing it with charcoal, crisp white or muted blue-grey accents. Its low-contrast texture works especially well where a plain silver-grey finish needs a little surface interest.

A cool, understated silver-grey with a fine woven surface for contemporary upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

Shutter Aliminium 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.
