Kumo Carbon

Name: Kumo Carbon
Brand: Black Edition

Kumo Carbon has a deep charcoal-black ground animated by fine, irregular horizontal striations. Its closely textured surface creates subtle tonal movement rather than a conventional repeated motif.

About this fabric

The weave combines near-black depth with slender grey-black threads that catch the light across the surface. Horizontal lines vary gently in density, giving the fabric a tactile, softly weathered appearance while retaining a smart overall character. This colourway reads cooler and more dimensional than a flat black, with the texture becoming especially visible in close view. No composition, width, rub-test or other performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Kumo Carbon on a tailored sofa, headboard or accent chair where its charcoal depth can anchor a room. Pair it with pale timber, warm neutrals or brushed metal to bring out the fine horizontal texture without lightening its strong black tone.

A deep charcoal-black woven texture with fine horizontal movement, well suited to tailored upholstery and statement seating.

Kumo Carbon 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.
