Jackson Shadow

Tabala Fabric

Jackson Shadow brings a cool, monochrome character to the Tabala collection, with broken charcoal marks scattered across a pale grey and ivory ground. In the image, the design reads as a layered, distressed check with visible textural depth across cushions and seating.

About this fabric

The colourway combines near-white ivory, soft grey and deep charcoal in an irregular pattern of scraped lines, flecks and broken checks. Its high-contrast arrangement gives the fabric a graphic presence, while the uneven marks prevent the black from feeling flat or severe. The substantial-looking surface is shown upholstered on cushions and a chair, where folds and changes in direction add further variation to the pattern. With no additional composition, width or performance specifications supplied, its suitability here is assessed from the visible upholstery application and cloth character.

How to use it

Use Jackson Shadow on occasional chairs, loose cushions or a compact sofa where its cool charcoal-and-ivory contrast can anchor softer grey, black and natural-textured furnishings. Pair it with warm brown accents, as shown by the textured cushion, to keep the monochrome scheme from feeling stark.

A cool, graphic upholstery cloth that brings layered charcoal-and-ivory texture to contemporary seating.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Jackson Shadow without fighting it. 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.
