Tailored Fabric

About this fabric
The fabric is presented in a gunmetal grey, sitting between charcoal and softened silver depending on how the light meets the raised vertical texture. Fine, closely spaced ribs run from top to bottom, adding quiet structure rather than a pronounced pattern. The dense woven appearance makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications where a controlled, tailored finish is wanted. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this colourway.
How to use it
Use Altair Gunmetal to bring cool depth to a contemporary sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain, pairing it with pale stone, smoked timber and brushed metal. Its subtle rib catches light in narrow vertical bands, making it particularly effective where a calm architectural backdrop is desired.
The cool gunmetal tone and fine vertical rib give this woven textile a tailored, quietly architectural finish.
Pairs well with
Altair Gunmetal 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.
