Ion Aluminium

Ion Fabric

Ion Aluminium is a cool, mineral grey textile with a softly mottled surface that shifts between pale silver and deeper graphite marks. Its understated variation gives the plain-looking ground a gently weathered depth.

About this fabric

The colourway reads as a balanced aluminium grey, predominantly cool rather than warm, with cloudy charcoal traces and lighter silvery areas distributed across the surface. Fine tonal variation creates a lightly brushed, irregular texture without a distinct printed motif. The compact appearance makes it best suited to upholstery, particularly where a calm grey finish needs more depth than a flat solid. No composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair Ion Aluminium with pale stone, crisp white or smoked timber for a restrained contemporary scheme. Its cool grey tone also works against black metal and deeper graphite accents without becoming visually heavy.

Use this cool aluminium grey on contemporary upholstery where its softly mottled surface can add quiet depth.

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.
