Black Edition

Ruban Oxide

Arkose Fabric

Ruban Oxide has a close, dimensional weave built from charcoal, taupe and warm oxide-brown threads. The compact texture gives the colourway a grounded, quietly industrial character.

About this fabric

The surface is formed by a small irregular grid, with pale taupe flecks and darker charcoal lines breaking through the warm oxide-brown ground. Its dense, substantial appearance makes it best suited to upholstery, where the pronounced weave can add texture without relying on a bold motif. No performance features or further technical specifications are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Ruban Oxide on a tailored sofa, armchair or ottoman alongside aged timber, blackened metal and warm neutral walls. Its rusty brown undertone can soften the cooler charcoal threads while adding depth to a restrained, textural scheme.

Its compact, softly irregular weave brings warm oxide depth and tactile structure to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Ruban Oxide 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.
