About this fabric

The swatch shows a dense, closely woven textile with an irregular horizontal grain running across the surface. Its tungsten shade sits between cool grey and softened taupe, while darker threads interrupt the colour rather than allowing it to read as a flat solid. The lightly raised, striated texture catches the light unevenly and gives this colourway a subdued, tactile character. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so no additional durability claim is made here.

How to use it

Use Mercer Tungsten on an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard where its weathered taupe-grey tone can soften darker timber and sit comfortably with stone, putty and charcoal accents. Its restrained horizontal texture adds interest without introducing a strong pattern.

The softly weathered taupe-grey tone and fine horizontal grain bring understated depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Mercer 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.
