About this fabric

The dense surface combines charcoal and smoky grey variation, with the light picking out fine horizontal lines across the face. At 518gsm, it has the substantial visual weight expected of an upholstery fabric. Its 140cm usable width provides a practical working area for furniture projects. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are 0cm, while the standard length is 25m.

How to use it

Use Allure Charcoal on a tailored sofa, armchair or dining seat where its near-black tone can anchor lighter walls and warm timber. Pair it with brushed metal, pale stone or textured neutrals to bring out the subtle grey variation in the surface.

A dense charcoal upholstery with subtle tonal variation for tailored seating and statement furniture.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Allure Charcoal 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.
