Ion Storm

Ion Fabric

Ion Storm is a deep charcoal-grey textile with a shadowed, irregular surface pattern. Its close, grainy weave gives the colourway a quiet depth, shifting between graphite and softer grey across the face of the cloth.

About this fabric

The design is visible as blurred, cloud-like mottling rather than a defined repeat, creating subtle movement across the charcoal ground. Fine vertical and horizontal threads remain perceptible, giving the surface a dense, tactile appearance. The cool grey tone reads dark and composed, while the uneven tonal marks prevent it from looking flat or solid. No further specification data or performance features have been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Ion Storm on a contemporary sofa, armchair or headboard where its cool charcoal tone can anchor lighter timber, stone and warm neutral furnishings. Its softly distressed-looking surface also works well with brushed metal and layered grey textiles.

A deep charcoal ground with softly irregular tonal mottling and a visibly dense woven texture.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Ion Storm without fighting it. 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.
