Quadrata Charcoal

Vivido Fabric FabricCCF0746-02

Quadrata Charcoal layers a pale, cool grey ground with broken charcoal marks in a loosely gridded abstract design. The varied woven surface gives the light colourway depth, while the darker strokes add definition without dominating.

About this fabric

This substantial 545gsm fabric has a tactile, irregular weave that makes the pale grey background appear softly tonal rather than flat. Short charcoal and slate-grey bars interrupt the field in vertical and horizontal fragments, creating a measured architectural rhythm with an artisanal edge. The pattern repeats every 37.2cm vertically and 34.3cm horizontally, giving enough structure to read clearly across upholstered panels. With a usable width of 137cm, Quadrata Charcoal is a practical choice for bringing this cool, layered neutral onto seating and other substantial upholstery.

How to use it

Use Quadrata Charcoal on a statement armchair, headboard or sofa where its cool grey ground can sit beside charcoal piping, black metal and pale oak. Keep surrounding textiles quiet to let the broken linear pattern supply the room’s visual texture.

Pair the cool pale-grey ground with charcoal, black or natural timber accents for a composed architectural look.

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