M573 Aluminium

M573 Aluminium presents a deep, cool charcoal-grey surface with subtle lighter flecks running through its tightly woven structure. The close-up reveals a fine crosshatch texture rather than a completely flat plain.

About this fabric

The colour reads as dark aluminium charcoal, with pale and darker threads creating gentle tonal variation across the surface. Its small-scale woven grid gives the fabric a dense, tactile appearance and restrained visual depth. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature has been supplied for this fabric, so those details should be confirmed before ordering for a specific application.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal colourway to upholster tailored seating where its fine texture can soften a modern, monochrome scheme. Pair it with pale timber, brushed metal or warm neutral accents to bring out the subtle contrast in the weave.

The cool charcoal tone and fine woven texture suit tailored upholstery in contemporary rooms.

Pairs well with

M573 Aluminium is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
