Zelva Graphite

Lorentz Fabric

Zelva Graphite brings a near-black graphite ground together with softly broken vertical streaks. Its close tonal range gives the swatch a cool, shadowed depth, while the brushed-looking grain prevents it from reading as flat.

About this fabric

Zelva Graphite is a dense-looking charcoal-grey ground crossed by irregular vertical strokes in black and softer smoky grey. The streaks are narrow and uneven, giving the surface a weathered, brushed appearance rather than a regular geometric repeat. In the image, the low-contrast tonal variation keeps this Black Edition colourway restrained and moody, while the fine grain adds visible depth. No further specification data is supplied for this fabric, so composition, width and rub performance should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use this cool, near-black graphite colourway on a tailored sofa, armchair or headboard where its vertically brushed texture can add depth without introducing a bright pattern. Pair it with pale stone, smoked glass and warm timber to soften its shadowed tone.

The cool graphite ground and shadowed vertical texture suit tailored upholstery with a dramatic, contemporary feel.

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.
