Empire Steel
Empire Fabric
Empire Steel is a softly folded, cool grey textile with a finely gridded woven surface. Its restrained steel tone shifts subtly between lighter and deeper grey as the cloth bends.

About this fabric
The close weave forms a tiny, irregular grid that gives the otherwise plain surface a gently tactile character. Steel grey reads cool and muted here, with a slight stone-like softness rather than a stark silver finish. Diagonal folds reveal delicate changes in light across the weave, adding depth without introducing a visible motif or strong contrast. No further composition, width or performance specification is supplied for this fabric.
How to use it
Use Empire Steel to bring quiet texture to a contemporary sofa, occasional chair or relaxed curtain, balancing its cool grey tone with chalky whites, pale wood and blue-grey accents.
Pair this cool steel-grey weave with pale timber, soft whites and muted mineral tones for a calm, textural scheme.
Pairs well with
Empire 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.
