Akaw Silver Grey

Akaw Silver Grey pairs a pale silver-grey ground with overlapping, sweeping bands that form a softly graphic pattern. Its low-contrast palette keeps the design light while the repeated curves add visible movement.

About this fabric

The design combines broad, nested arcs through the centre with finer diagonal linear marks toward the sides, creating a layered, almost feather-like rhythm. Cool silver-grey lines sit against a very pale grey-white ground, giving the colourway a softly luminous appearance rather than a strong contrast. The pattern is medium in scale and reads as smart and composed across the visible swatch. No composition, width, rub-test or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Akaw Silver Grey where a room needs a cool, pale textile with gentle graphic definition: it can bring quiet movement to curtains or coordinate neatly on occasional upholstered pieces. Pair it with white, light grey and brushed metal for a crisp scheme, or warm it with pale timber.

The cool silver-grey ground and layered curved motif bring quiet graphic movement to upholstery or drapery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Akaw Silver Grey without fighting it. 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.
