About this fabric

This 493gsm textile is a dense, weighty weave suited to upholstery, with a 138cm usable width. Charcoal, warm grey, pale cream and dark threads intermingle across the surface, creating a salt-and-pepper depth rather than a uniform flat colour. Fine horizontal yarn movement gives the cloth its gently striated look, while the uneven flecking keeps the dark tone approachable. The design has a 35cm horizontal repeat and no vertical repeat, although the irregular woven texture reads as an understated all-over surface.

How to use it

Use Sven Charcoal on a sofa, armchair or headboard where its cool, deep grey tone can anchor softer stone, ivory and natural timber finishes. Pair it with brushed metal or warm wood to bring out the contrast between its near-black threads and lighter woven flecks.

A weighty charcoal weave that brings layered grey, cream and stone tones to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Sven Charcoal 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.
