Smooth Combat

Smooth Iii Fabric

Smooth Combat is shown here as a deep, softened olive-grey with an understated, almost mineral quality. Its near-solid appearance keeps the focus on the colour’s subtle depth rather than a visible pattern.

About this fabric

The colour sits between olive and grey, reading cool and muted rather than warm or khaki. A very fine, even surface texture is visible across the swatch, giving the cloth a softly tactile look without a pronounced motif. Its low-sheen finish absorbs the light gently, creating a composed, tailored impression. No further performance or composition specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this olive-grey shade on a structured sofa, dining chair or ottoman where its quiet depth can anchor a tonal scheme. Pair it with chalky neutrals, smoked timber and desaturated greens to bring out its cool, earthy character.

A restrained olive-grey upholstery cloth for calm, tonal schemes and tailored 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.
