Offset Gunmetal presents a cool gunmetal-grey ground arranged in offset rectangular blocks, with pale horizontal bands interrupting the darker woven field. The tightly drawn lines give the surface a measured, architectural rhythm.

About this fabric

The design is formed from repeating rectangular sections that shift across the face of the cloth, creating a subtly irregular geometric layout rather than a simple stripe. Its gunmetal tone moves between charcoal grey, pewter and softer silver as the horizontal yarns catch the light. Within each block, fine linear striations add texture, while brighter bands provide controlled contrast against the deeper ground. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification was supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Offset Gunmetal to temper a room with its cool, muted grey depth: it would suit a tailored sofa, occasional chair or full-length blind alongside charcoal, stone and brushed-metal finishes. The pale horizontal accents can also pick up lighter upholstery or softly metallic accessories.

A cool, structured woven pattern that brings quiet rhythm to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

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.
