Light Vintage Grey - 2003/03

Misc Fabric

Light Vintage Grey - 2003/03 has a cool, softly weathered character, with pale and charcoal-grey threads forming a finely peppered surface. The close weave gives the colour gentle depth rather than a flat block of grey.

About this fabric

Viewed up close, this textile is built from tiny contrasting threads that create a compact, granular weave. Its light vintage grey ground shifts between silvery highlights and darker graphite flecks, while broader cloudy areas add a subtly irregular finish. The dense visible construction gives it the visual weight of an upholstery cloth rather than a fine, fluid drapery fabric. Its restrained tonal variation keeps the overall effect smart and understated.

How to use it

Use this cool, lightly mottled grey on a contemporary armchair, dining seat or compact sofa, where its peppered surface can soften crisp black, white and timber elements. Pair it with warm oak or aged brass to bring balance to the cooler tone.

Use this softly mottled grey with warm timber, blackened metal and simple tailored upholstery for a quietly considered scheme.

Light Vintage Grey - 2003/03 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.
