About this fabric

Lenny Tungsten is a plain woven textile in a deep taupe-grey, with a subtle brown cast that keeps the shade from appearing stark. Fine vertical striations run through the close surface, creating quiet movement rather than a defined pattern. Slight shifts between lighter and darker threads give the swatch a softly heathered depth. The supplied record identifies it as a fabric and lists no performance features.

How to use it

Use this brown-leaning grey on tailored upholstery where its restrained texture can add depth without introducing a strong pattern. It works naturally with warm wood, stone neutrals and aged metal accents.

Use its brown-leaning grey tone to bring quiet depth to tailored upholstery and pair it with warm timber or aged metal.

Pairs well with

Lenny Tungsten 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.
