About this fabric

The fabric sets bright white, pixel-edged geometric motifs against deep black, creating a tightly packed houndstooth-like rhythm across the face. Its repeat measures 8.2 cm vertically and horizontally, so the design reads as a regular medium-scale pattern rather than an oversized check. At 522 gsm with a 140 cm usable width, BW1011 is a substantial textile suited to upholstery; the standard length is 40 m. A fine visible weave adds surface texture while keeping the stark black-and-white contrast clean and well defined.

How to use it

Use this cool monochrome colourway on a tailored chair, ottoman or statement sofa where its dense black ground can anchor a room. Keep surrounding upholstery and accessories restrained, allowing the crisp white geometric rhythm to provide the visual detail.

A cool, high-contrast choice for tailored upholstered seating and graphic monochrome schemes.

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.
