Cantare FabricCAN2481

CAN2481 is a dense chenille in a near-black charcoal shade, with a finely mottled surface that softens the depth of the colour. The low-contrast texture catches the light subtly rather than forming a visible pattern.

About this fabric

Woven from 100% polyester, this 138cm-wide chenille has a substantial, softly textured appearance suited to upholstered furniture. Its charcoal-black colour reads deep and sophisticated, while the close tonal variation prevents the surface from looking completely flat or stark. CAN2481 is graded for both contract and domestic upholstery and is machine washable for practical everyday use. It meets Domestic Cig & Match flame-retardancy requirements and can be treated to Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use this deep charcoal colourway to upholster a tailored sofa, dining chair or headboard where its near-black tone can anchor paler walls, warm timber and brushed metal. Layer with tactile ivory, stone or muted grey textiles to bring out the subtle chenille texture without introducing a competing pattern.

The deep charcoal-black tone and softly textured chenille make this a practical, tailored choice for upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

CAN2481 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.
