About this fabric

Catalogued as a Fabric from Swaffer’s Plain collection, Geo 05 has a tightly woven appearance and a substantial look in the folded swatch. Its charcoal base is softened by cool grey highlights, while the raised folds catch the light with a restrained satin-like sheen. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data. The plain construction keeps the emphasis on the depth of the grey tone and the fabric’s subtle surface variation.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal-grey colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard, where its tonal depth can contrast with warm wood, chalky walls or lighter textured textiles.

Use the smoky charcoal-grey tone to bring depth to tailored seating, especially alongside pale timber, stone or soft metallic accents.

Pairs well with

Geo 05 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.
