Smooth Pumice

Smooth Iii Fabric

Smooth Pumice is a deep, earthy neutral with the subdued character of weathered stone. In the swatch, its taupe-grey ground is gently mottled rather than completely flat, giving the plain surface quiet visual depth.

About this fabric

This colourway sits between charcoal grey and muted brown, with a softened warmth that keeps the shade from feeling stark or blue-toned. The close, even surface appears finely woven and predominantly matte, while slight tonal variation becomes visible across the swatch. Its dense, unpatterned appearance is well suited to upholstery where a calm, architectural ground is preferred. No further specification data or performance features were supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Smooth Pumice on a tailored sofa, headboard or dining chair to establish a grounded taupe-grey base, then introduce ivory, tobacco or aged metal accents for contrast.

The deep, understated taupe-grey tone gives upholstered seating a composed, quietly modern finish.

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.
