Array Cement

Timeless Textures Fabric

Array Cement is a softly muted cement-grey textile with a subtle greige cast. Its close, fine weave forms a delicate repeating herringbone pattern that gives the surface quiet visual depth.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a cool grey-beige ground crossed by closely spaced pale and darker threads, creating a small-scale herringbone effect. Light catches the raised woven marks gently rather than producing a sheen, keeping the colour calm and understated. The compact-looking surface gives this colourway a neat, tailored character that can sit comfortably across upholstery and drapery applications. No composition, usage, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair Array Cement with chalky whites, pale oak and brushed metal for a cool, contemporary scheme, or use it to soften darker charcoal and natural timber. Its restrained greige tone is especially effective on a tailored chair, headboard or quietly patterned curtain.

Use the soft cement greige tone as a quiet, finely textured layer on upholstery or full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Array Cement without fighting it. 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.
