About this fabric

This fabric is defined by a compact, small-scale weave of tiny irregular rectangular marks rather than a printed motif. Its gunmetal tone sits between charcoal grey and softened taupe, giving the surface a quiet depth instead of a flat solid appearance. The dense-looking construction reads as upholstery-led, with enough visual texture to add interest to a plain chair, headboard or ottoman. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use the cool gunmetal-grey tone to bring restraint to tailored seating, pairing it with pale stone, chalky grey or dark timber. Its finely textured surface can also soften a room built around plain architectural forms without introducing a strong pattern.

A compact, softly irregular woven texture in muted gunmetal grey, suited to tailored upholstery and understated schemes.

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.
