About this fabric

29 Metal is a dense, plain woven surface in a warm metal grey, with a fine crosswise grain visible throughout the swatch. Close inspection shows irregular lighter and darker threads that prevent the colour from reading as a flat solid. This restrained variation gives the grey a softened, lightly tactile character while retaining a smart, composed look. No performance features are noted for this SKU.

How to use it

Use this warm metal-grey colourway to temper pale timber, stone and off-white upholstery, or introduce quiet texture to curtains where a plain grey would otherwise feel too stark.

A softly mottled metal-grey neutral for tailored upholstery or relaxed, textured drapery.

Pairs well with

29 Metal 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.
