About this fabric

Luxi Thunder is catalogued as a Fabric; no composition, width, rub-test rating or performance features are supplied for this colourway. The visible colour is a deep, cool grey softened by fine lighter flecks, rather than a flat black or uniform charcoal. Its small-scale nubby weave catches the light unevenly, creating subtle tonal movement across the rounded upholstered arm. The substantial-looking surface is shown on seating, making upholstery the clearest application from the image.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal-grey on a sofa, armchair or occasional seat where its small nubby texture can add depth without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with the image’s cream cushion and softer grey upholstery for a restrained, layered palette.

A cool charcoal-grey, nubby weave that brings tactile depth to upholstered seating and pairs naturally with cream and soft grey.

Pairs well with

Luxi Thunder 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.
