OLB3836 is a near-black charcoal chenille with a densely worked, irregular crosshatch surface. Fine grey flecks and broken lighter threads give the dark ground visible depth rather than a flat black appearance.

About this fabric

Woven from 100% polyester, this 138cm-wide chenille has a close, tactile texture made from interlacing vertical and horizontal-looking yarns. The charcoal-black colour reads cool and substantial, while scattered grey highlights catch across the surface to create a gently mottled finish. It is rated for Contract and Domestic upholstery and is machine washable for practical everyday use. Flame retardancy is Domestic Cig & Match, with treatment available to achieve Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Pair this cool charcoal colourway with pale timber, brushed metal or warm stone to balance its depth. On a sofa or occasional chair, the mottled grey texture will add definition without introducing a strong printed motif.

Use this deep charcoal chenille to bring definition to sofas, armchairs or dining seats while its grey flecks soften the near-black ground.

OLB3836 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.
