Smooth Aluminium

Smooth Iii Fabric

Smooth Aluminium presents a calm, cool grey with the quiet depth of brushed metal. Its face appears almost plain at a glance, while a fine tonal grain keeps the surface from looking completely flat.

About this fabric

This swatch is an even aluminium grey, with a slightly softened cast rather than a blue or charcoal-heavy tone. Close up, the surface shows restrained fine texture and gentle tonal variation, with no visible motif or repeat. It is catalogued as a fabric from Kirkby Design’s Smooth Iii collection; no composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use the cool aluminium grey to bring a composed, contemporary note to a sofa, occasional chair or simple curtain. It pairs naturally with pale woods, white walls and darker graphite accents, which emphasise its subtle surface depth.

A cool, understated grey with a smooth surface that suits both tailored upholstery and clean-lined window treatments.

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.
