Patina Aluminium

Timeless Plains Fabric

Patina Aluminium is a cool, silvery grey textile with a finely crosswoven surface. The close weave creates subtle tonal variation, so the colour reads as softly textured rather than flat.

About this fabric

Viewed close up, the cloth combines charcoal-grey and pale aluminium threads in a tiny, regular weave that gives the surface a restrained checked effect. Its cool cast feels architectural and composed, with the lighter threads catching the eye without becoming glossy. The supplied specification lists no performance features or further technical data for this colourway, so its suitability should be assessed against the intended application.

How to use it

Use this cool grey as a quiet foundation in contemporary rooms, where its fine woven texture can soften sharper architectural finishes. It also pairs naturally with blue-grey, chalk white and brushed metal accents.

A cool aluminium-grey ground with a fine crosswoven texture that brings quiet depth to upholstery and 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.
