About this fabric

The fabric has a compact, small-scale weave made from alternating light and dark grey threads, creating a subtle checked or micro-grid effect rather than a bold motif. Its cool steel tone feels crisp and restrained, while the irregular thread texture prevents the surface from looking flat. The visible weave reads as substantial and tailored, making it best suited to upholstery. No composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Weave Steel on a clean-lined sofa, armchair or dining seat where its cool grey tone can balance white, charcoal, brushed metal and pale timber. The fine texture also works well as a quiet counterpoint to larger-scale patterns.

A cool, tightly woven steel grey for tailored upholstery with subtle surface interest.

Weave 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.
