About this fabric

The close view shows a dense charcoal-grey surface with subtle mottling that prevents the colour from reading as flat black. Across it, a narrow raised band runs diagonally, with a braided-looking construction that catches the light in softer grey tones. The contrast is restrained, so the linear detail feels integrated into the ground rather than brightly patterned. Its structured appearance makes this colourway particularly suited to tailored upholstery.

How to use it

Use Souligne Gunmetal on a clean-lined sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool, near-black tone can anchor a room. Pair it with pale stone, brushed metal and lighter grey textiles to pick up the raised detail without losing the depth of the ground.

A cool, near-black grey with a lighter raised detail that adds quiet definition to tailored upholstery.

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.
