Profile Fabric

Profile Steel is a cool, medium-dark grey textile with a quiet, finely grained surface. The close weave gives this colourway subtle depth rather than a flat, uniform appearance.

About this fabric

In the image, the steel-grey tone reads cool and restrained, with tiny variations across the woven surface catching the light softly. Its fine, closely packed construction creates a gently pebbled texture that remains understated at a distance. No further composition, width, rub-test, or performance data is supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool steel grey to bring a calm, architectural note to upholstered seating, or as a discreet textile layer alongside crisp whites, charcoal and cool timber tones. Its restrained texture can also soften a room without introducing a visible pattern.

A cool, finely textured grey weave with enough visual depth for upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

Profile Steel 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.
