Risco Charcoal is a cool, layered grey woven with repeating vertical bands and small, feathered horizontal marks. Its softly irregular surface gives the charcoal tone depth rather than a flat, solid appearance.

About this fabric

The design is formed from slender charcoal-grey vertical lines, interrupted by rows of pale grey, brush-like motifs that create a measured 23cm square repeat. Visible woven texture softens the contrast between the deeper charcoal and lighter ground, while the closely spaced pattern gives the cloth a structured, directional character. At 308gsm, with a 138cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight choice for both upholstery and drapery. The standard length is 40m, making it practical for coordinated schemes requiring a consistent run of this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use Risco Charcoal on a relaxed sofa, occasional chair or full-height curtain where its cool grey depth can balance pale stone, chalk and timber tones. Keep surrounding upholstery quieter so the vertical pattern remains the main source of movement.

Use this cool charcoal-grey weave to bring vertical rhythm and understated contrast to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

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.
