Name: Tosca Gunmetal

Tosca Gunmetal presents a cool, deep grey-brown surface with the subdued depth of darkened metal. Tiny interlaced threads create a finely granular texture across the swatch, with light catching gently on the raised weave.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Tosca Gunmetal has a close, compact weave that reads as substantial and well suited to upholstery. Its colour sits between charcoal grey and muted taupe, giving the surface a softened gunmetal quality rather than a stark black finish. Fine tonal flecks within the weave prevent the dark shade from appearing flat, while the even texture keeps the overall impression polished and restrained. The small-scale woven surface is visible at close range without forming a pronounced motif.

How to use it

Use this cool gunmetal grey on a tailored sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its quiet texture can balance pale stone, warm timber and brushed metal. Its muted depth also works well as a grounding upholstery shade in a darker, tonal room.

Its dense, finely textured weave brings quiet depth to tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Tosca 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.
