About this fabric

The fabric is formed from narrow vertical ribs that create a fine linear texture across the visible swatch. Its steel-grey tone reads cool and softly muted, with subtle shading between the raised lines adding depth without contrast. The ribbed face catches light gently, giving the surface a quiet dimensional quality rather than a flat plain finish. No further composition, width, rub-test or performance specification is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool grey on a clean-lined sofa, headboard or dining chair where the vertical ribbing can provide texture without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with pale stone, charcoal or brushed metal accents to reinforce its cool, tailored character.

A cool, finely ribbed grey with a tailored look for upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

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.
