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.

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.
