About this fabric

The design is built from repeated, overlapping block-like shapes, with charcoal-grey accents cutting through broad cream panels and muted ochre areas. Its restrained palette feels warm overall, while the charcoal and taupe marks add a cooler, grounded contrast rather than a strong monochrome effect. At 327 gsm and 137 cm usable width, the cloth has the substance for upholstery while remaining suitable for drapery. The pattern repeat measures 64 cm vertically by 68.6 cm horizontally, giving the painterly arrangement a clearly visible medium-scale rhythm.

How to use it

Use Figura Linen/Charcoal on a relaxed armchair or sofa where the cream ground can brighten the form, then echo its ochre notes in timber, leather or cushions. It can also bring softly broken movement to curtains without overwhelming a room built around warm neutrals and charcoal accents.

Use the warm ochre and cream ground to soften the cooler charcoal and taupe marks in relaxed upholstery or full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Figura Linen/Charcoal without fighting it. 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.
