About this fabric

The aluminium-grey ground shifts gently between silver, mist and charcoal, giving the cloth more depth than a flat plain. Its close crosshatched weave is visibly tactile, with irregular tonal bands and delicate thread variation creating a softly weathered finish. The medium-scale grid remains restrained rather than graphic, making this colourway read as calm and quietly architectural. No performance features, composition, width or rub-test figures are noted in the supplied specification for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use M544 Aluminium where a cool, composed grey is needed to balance warmer timber, pale stone or softly coloured upholstery. Its subtle grid would suit a tailored chair, sofa or full-length curtain without introducing a strong pattern.

A cool, finely gridded grey weave that brings quiet structure to upholstery or drapery.

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.
