About this fabric

The image shows a dark charcoal fabric crossed by fine, pale vertical lines that subtly lengthen the chair’s silhouette. Its close, even weave reads as firm and upholstery-weight rather than fluid, making the colourway particularly suited to the structured arms and rounded back shown here. The charcoal tone absorbs much of the surrounding light, while the stripes catch it gently and add definition without becoming decorative or busy. No composition or performance features are supplied for this fabric, so those details should be confirmed before specifying it for a high-use setting.

How to use it

Use Cambridge Charcoal on an armchair, dining chair or compact sofa where its cool charcoal depth can anchor warmer timber, brass and ochre surroundings. The fine vertical striping works especially well with clean-lined furniture and other restrained textures.

Its deep charcoal tone and fine vertical stripes give occasional chairs and tailored seating a crisp, architectural finish.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cambridge Charcoal Fabric 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.
