About this fabric

The photograph shows a dense, narrow-ribbed construction in a restrained slate grey, with slightly lighter ridges beside deeper recessed channels. The vertical texture creates a neat linear rhythm without introducing a separate pattern or contrasting colour. Catalogued as a fabric, Sculpt Slate has no performance features noted in the supplied data. Its substantial-looking, structured surface is best suited to tailored upholstery where the direction of the rib can be used deliberately.

How to use it

Use Sculpt Slate on a clean-lined armchair, headboard or sofa where its cool grey tone can temper warmer timber and leather. Keep surrounding textiles softly textured and tonal so the fine vertical ribbing remains the main detail.

The dense vertical ribbing gives this cool slate grey textile a tailored, softly dimensional finish for upholstered seating.

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.
