Touch Aluminium presents a pale, cool grey with a gentle silver cast. Its finely woven surface has a quiet crosshatched grain that keeps the plain colour from appearing flat.

About this fabric

This Pergola colourway is a soft aluminium grey, reading cooler and lighter where the fine threads catch the light. Subtle horizontal and vertical yarns create a restrained crosshatch across the swatch, adding close-up texture without a visible motif. The even woven construction reads as a versatile mid-weight textile, making it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Its muted tone brings a crisp, understated finish to the surface.

How to use it

Use Touch Aluminium to introduce a cool, pale-grey layer on seating, cushions or curtains, especially alongside white, charcoal or other quiet neutral finishes. Its subtle woven grain adds texture while keeping the overall scheme clean and tailored.

A cool aluminium-grey weave with subtle crosshatch texture for quietly tailored upholstery or drapery.

Touch Aluminium 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.
