Sculpt Aluminium presents a cool, pale grey surface with a finely ribbed vertical structure. Its softly varied texture gives the light aluminium tone subtle depth without introducing a strong pattern.

About this fabric

The surface is defined by closely spaced vertical ribs, creating a narrow, cord-like texture that runs consistently across the swatch. Its aluminium-grey colour reads cool and restrained, with gentle shifts in light across the raised lines. The fine-scale texture gives the fabric a smart, tailored character rather than a decorative motif. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Sculpt Aluminium on a clean-lined armchair, sofa or dining seat where its cool pale-grey tone can sit comfortably with white, charcoal, concrete and brushed metal accents. The vertical rib can also add quiet direction to softly shaped upholstery.

The cool aluminium-grey tone and fine vertical rib make this a neat, tailored choice for contemporary upholstery.

Pairs well with

Sculpt 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.
