Vienna Charcoal is a deep charcoal-grey textile with a restrained green cast, giving the surface a cool, atmospheric depth. Fine woven lines create a softly irregular texture across the swatch rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

This heavy plain weave has a near-charcoal ground enlivened by delicate vertical and horizontal striations, producing a quiet, almost checked surface when viewed closely. The muted green undertone prevents the colour from reading as flat black, while the interlaced threads catch the light in fine tonal shifts. At 490gsm, Vienna Charcoal has the substantial presence expected of an upholstery fabric. Its 140cm usable width and zero vertical and horizontal pattern repeat make it straightforward to position across broad upholstered surfaces.

How to use it

Pair this deep green-charcoal shade with pale timber, aged metal or warm stone to soften its cool depth, or use it on a tailored sofa where the subtle woven texture can be appreciated up close.

Use this weighty charcoal-grey weave on sofas, armchairs and dining seats where its muted green cast adds depth without introducing a strong pattern.

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.
