Madison Charcoal brings a deep charcoal ground and sharply contrasting ivory zigzags together in a tightly ordered geometric weave. Its dark, cool tone gives the pattern a more graphic and grounded presence than lighter colourways.

About this fabric

The fabric shows closely spaced, repeating zigzag lines in ivory against a rich charcoal background, creating a strong chevron-like rhythm across the surface. The dark ground appears softly textured, while the lighter lines catch the light with a slightly nubby, tactile look. At 540gsm and 137cm wide, it is a substantial woven fabric suited to upholstery. The vertical pattern repeat is 4.5cm and the horizontal repeat is 3cm; the standard length is 25m.

How to use it

Use Madison Charcoal on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its cool charcoal depth can anchor softer ivory, stone and warm timber tones. The small-scale zigzag works especially well on clean, tailored upholstery without overwhelming compact pieces.

A substantial charcoal-and-ivory geometric weave for upholstered seating and statement occasional pieces.

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.
