About this fabric

The face is formed from closely interlaced grey and light threads, creating repeated V-shaped lines across the fabric. The salt-and-pepper contrast gives the cool grey tone depth, while the raised-looking weave catches the light across each angled section. Up close, the pattern feels crisp and directional; from farther away, it settles into a softly textured grey ground. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this exact fabric, so suitability should be confirmed for the intended application.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal-grey colourway on a tailored armchair, headboard or sofa where its directional chevron can add structure without introducing a bright accent. Pair it with pale stone, blackened timber or brushed metal to echo the weave’s crisp light-and-dark contrast.

A cool, tactile grey chevron weave that brings crisp architectural rhythm to upholstered furniture.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Galdana Grey 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.
