Ruban Avocet
Arkose Fabric
Ruban Avocet in Black Edition has a deep charcoal-grey ground with a tightly worked, irregular grid texture. Light catches the raised pale threads unevenly, giving the surface a softly flecked depth rather than a flat black appearance.

About this fabric
This is a visually dense woven fabric, built from closely packed dark threads crossed by short, broken lines in grey and muted off-white. The small-scale pattern reads as a tactile basket weave, with subtle variation across the surface instead of a regular printed repeat. Its near-black charcoal tone gives the cloth a grounded, tailored mood while the lighter threads keep it from appearing completely solid. The supplied record lists no performance features or further technical specifications.
How to use it
Use this charcoal colourway on a structured sofa, dining chair or occasional chair where its small broken grid can add texture without introducing a strong decorative motif. Pair it with warm timber, aged metal and softer grey or ivory accents to draw out the contrast in the weave.
A deep charcoal upholstery cloth whose broken woven texture adds quiet depth to contemporary and tailored seating.

Pairs well with
Ruban Avocet 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.
