Rye Fabric12

Rye 12 Slate has a deep, charcoal-leaning slate tone with a finely woven surface that gives the colour gentle variation rather than a flat finish. Its restrained texture reads as quietly architectural and composed.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a dense woven ground built from fine horizontal and vertical threads, creating a subtle irregular grid across the surface. The slate-grey colour is cool and deep, with softened charcoal shading and minute lighter flecks catching between the threads. This understated variation gives the fabric visual depth while keeping the overall impression calm and tailored. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use 12 Slate on a structured armchair, sofa or dining seat where its cool charcoal-slate tone can anchor pale stone, chalky neutrals and blackened timber. It also suits a restrained contemporary room that benefits from texture without a prominent pattern.

A dense, quietly textured slate weave suited to tailored upholstery and dark, contemporary schemes.

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.
