About this fabric

The face of RIB2936 is defined by a fine vertical rib texture rather than a printed motif, giving the dark colour a measured sense of depth. The charcoal-black shade reads cooler and softer than a flat true black, with the ribbed surface picking up delicate tonal variation as the light moves across it. It is 138cm wide and rated for both contract and domestic upholstery, making the cloth suitable for seating applications in either setting. The composition is listed as Various, and the fabric is machine washable for practical aftercare. Flame retardancy is specified as Domestic Cig & Match, with treatment available to achieve Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use this near-black charcoal colourway on a structured sofa, dining chair or banquette where its narrow vertical ribs can add texture without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with pale timber, warm stone or muted metal finishes to keep the deep tone from feeling visually heavy.

The finely ribbed charcoal surface adds quiet texture and depth to contemporary and tailored upholstery.

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.
