Sol Sardine

Name: Sol Sardine
Brand: Kirkby Design

Sol Sardine is a very pale warm grey with a softly textured, even surface. The restrained colour has a gentle warmth that keeps this outdoor textile from reading as stark silver or white.

About this fabric

The close, fine weave creates a subtle grain across the swatch, while the low-contrast yarns give the surface a softly weathered depth. Its light warm-grey tone appears calm and versatile, with a faint beige cast visible through the woven texture. Sol Sardine is catalogued as Outdoor and carries Outdoor performance, making it an upholstery-focused choice for exterior seating. The plain surface keeps the colour and tactile weave at the centre of the design.

How to use it

Use Sol Sardine on outdoor cushions, dining chairs or a compact sofa where its pale warm-grey tone can brighten the setting without feeling clinical. Pair it with chalky stone, natural timber and darker charcoal accents for gentle contrast.

Its softly weathered warm-grey tone brings a calm, understated finish to outdoor seating.

Sol Sardine 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.
