Ion Cadet

Ion Fabric

Ion Cadet is a cool cadet blue-grey textile with a softly clouded surface and subtle tonal movement. Its close, fine texture gives the colour a quiet depth rather than a flat, uniform appearance.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a blue-grey ground layered with darker and lighter fibres, creating a low-contrast mottled effect across the surface. Fine horizontal and vertical texture is visible in the weave, giving the cloth a gently tactile, lived-in character. The restrained colour and irregular tonal shifts make it read as calm and understated rather than crisp or highly decorative. No composition, width, rub test or additional performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Ion Cadet on a sofa, armchair or headboard in a cool-toned room, pairing its cadet blue-grey depth with pale oak, chalky whites or softly weathered metal. Its quiet mottling is especially effective alongside plain cushions and other understated textures.

Use this cool, softly mottled blue-grey on upholstered seating where its quiet tonal texture can add depth without introducing a strong pattern.

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.
