About this fabric

The face shows a dense, compact weave built from nested diamond motifs, with alternating charcoal and slate-grey tones creating a subtly stepped effect. The cool palette reads deeper in the darker patterned lines, while the lighter threads pick up the texture across the surface. This is a structured, visually consistent fabric suited to upholstery where the small-scale geometry can add definition without dominating the piece. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Pullman Slate on a tailored armchair, banquette or sofa where its cool charcoal depth and neat geometric rhythm can complement pale timber, brushed metal and quiet grey furnishings.

A cool charcoal-and-slate geometric weave that brings structured contrast to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Pullman Slate without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

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.
