Beauvoir Charcoal

Latour FabricCCF0079-01

Beauvoir Charcoal presents a softened charcoal-grey ground rather than a flat black, with fine darker marks creating a quietly layered surface. The close-woven face has a subtle broken texture that becomes more apparent across the swatch.

About this fabric

This 621 gsm fabric has a dense woven appearance, combining a pale smoky-grey base with closely spaced charcoal flecks and short, irregular horizontal marks. The small-scale surface pattern gives the colourway depth without creating a bold graphic effect. It has a 142 cm usable width, a 49 cm vertical repeat and a 34.5 cm horizontal repeat. Supplied in a standard 40 m length, Beauvoir Charcoal is a substantial textile well suited to upholstery applications where its weight and restrained tonal variation can be appreciated.

How to use it

Use Beauvoir Charcoal on a tailored sofa, occasional chair or dining seat where its cool smoky tone can balance warm wood, aged metal and softly coloured walls. Its densely mottled surface is also useful for adding depth to a darker neutral scheme without introducing a strong contrast pattern.

Use this softly mottled charcoal-grey upholstery to bring quiet depth to contemporary seating and darker timber schemes.

Pairs well with

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