About this fabric

The close, even weave gives this Magnesium colourway a neat, quietly textured appearance rather than a pronounced pattern. Its cool blue-grey tone feels calm and architectural, with enough depth to avoid looking flat or stark. The catalogue identifies it as a fabric, with no further specification data or performance features supplied. The plain surface keeps the colour firmly in focus, making the swatch read as smart and understated.

How to use it

Use Magnesium on a tailored sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool blue-grey tone can sit alongside chalky whites, pale timber and deeper charcoal accents. It also suits rooms needing a calm, contemporary counterpoint to warmer oak or tan leather.

A composed blue-grey plain weave that brings cool, understated depth to upholstered seating.

Mercury Fr Crib 5 Magnesium 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.
