Quantum Charcoal

Electro FabricCCF0299-01

Quantum Charcoal layers a smoky charcoal-grey ground with soft mauve-grey variation, creating a quietly dimensional surface. Its fine, irregular woven pattern shifts gently across the cloth rather than reading as a bold graphic.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a cool charcoal base broken by muted mauve and silvery-grey flecks, with a tactile, gently rippled weave that catches the light softly. A 17.3cm vertical repeat and 25cm horizontal repeat give the understated geometric texture measured structure without overwhelming the colourway. At 205gsm and 280cm usable width, Quantum Charcoal is a versatile mid-weight textile for both upholstery and drapery. Each standard length is 30m, offering practical scope for coordinated soft furnishings or window treatments.

How to use it

Use Quantum Charcoal to bring depth to a cool contemporary scheme, pairing its mauve-grey undertone with softened lilac, brushed metal or pale timber. On a sofa, headboard or generous curtains, the subtle texture adds interest without competing with stronger pattern.

A versatile smoky charcoal textile with a restrained woven pattern that suits contemporary upholstery and full-length drapery.

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