Andes Steel

Andes Steel presents a deep, cool steel-grey surface with almost charcoal depth. Fine raised nubs create a close, irregular texture that catches the light subtly as the cloth falls into folds.

About this fabric

The visible weave is densely textured, with tiny uneven loops or nubs forming a softly pebbled pattern across the surface. Its steel-grey tone remains restrained and cool, while darker recesses in the folds give the colour added depth. The fabric has a substantial-looking handle in the image, making it well suited to upholstery rather than delicate, fluid applications. The low-contrast texture keeps the effect sophisticated and tactile without introducing a separate motif.

How to use it

Pair this cool steel-grey colourway with pale stone, smoked oak and blackened metal for a composed, contemporary room. It also works as a grounding upholstery on a sculptural chair or compact sofa where the nubby surface can be seen up close.

Use this cool steel-grey texture to add depth to upholstered seating, benches or statement cushions.

Pairs well with

Andes Steel 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.
