Pittura Charcoal

Pittura Charcoal combines a deep charcoal-grey ground with irregular ivory and pale-grey markings, creating a distinctly mineral, painterly surface. The close-up image shows layered tonal variation rather than a sharply outlined motif.

About this fabric

The cool charcoal base is broken by cloudy ivory, silver-grey and near-black passages, giving the fabric a softly distressed depth. Its mottled vertical and horizontal movement forms an abstract repeat measuring 45.5 cm vertically by 51.5 cm horizontally. At 241 gsm, it is a versatile mid-weight textile suited to both upholstery and drapery. The 137 cm usable width and 40 m standard length make it practical for larger coordinated schemes.

How to use it

Pair this charcoal colourway with pale stone, chalky grey and aged-metal accents to bring out its cool mineral character. It can add visual depth to a tailored chair, bench or full-length curtain without introducing a bright accent colour.

Use this cool, mineral charcoal as a grounding mid-tone on upholstery, curtains or layered cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Pittura 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.
