About this fabric

This Licorice colourway reads as near-black charcoal rather than a flat, ink-black plain, with faint horizontal shifts in tone across the woven surface. The close, compact weave gives the swatch a tactile texture while keeping the overall effect restrained and smart. At 380 gsm, it has a substantial textile presence for upholstery. Its 140cm usable width and 40m standard length are practical catalogue specifications; both vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are 0cm, so there is no repeat to align.

How to use it

Use this near-black charcoal shade for a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its low-contrast texture can add depth without introducing a visible pattern. Pair it with pale timber, warm ivory or aged brass to soften the intensity of the dark ground.

Use this near-black charcoal weave on tailored upholstery, balancing its depth with pale timber, warm neutrals or brushed metal.

Pairs well with

Nantucket Licorice is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
