Yves Charcoal

Mode FabricCCF0456-03

Yves Charcoal shows a pale, cool ground threaded with dense charcoal flecks, creating a softly mottled surface rather than a flat solid shade. Fine horizontal striations and irregular woven marks give the swatch a tactile, broken texture.

About this fabric

At 468 gsm, this substantial woven fabric is well suited to upholstery, with enough visual depth for seating and occasional furniture. Its 136.5 cm usable width supports practical upholstery planning, while the 30 m standard length is suitable for larger furnishing requirements. The small 4 cm vertical by 3.5 cm horizontal repeat is visible as a close-set scatter of charcoal marks across the pale ground. The overall effect is a cool charcoal-and-ivory mélange: the dark threads soften into the light base in brighter areas, while the charcoal depth becomes more pronounced in shadow.

How to use it

Pair Yves Charcoal with warm timber, blackened metal or soft ivory upholstery details to balance its cool, lightly flecked tone. It works particularly well on tailored seating where the small repeat and horizontal weave can be seen at close range.

Use the cool charcoal-and-ivory mix to bring subtle contrast to upholstered seating and tailored room 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.
