About this fabric

Marabou Antracite is catalogued as a fabric in Dedar’s Chenille fabrics collection, with no performance features noted in the supplied data. The colour sits between charcoal grey and deep taupe-brown, creating a softened, earthy interpretation of anthracite rather than a blue or stark black grey. Fine tonal variation runs through the dense woven face, producing a dry, tactile texture that changes subtly as the light moves across it. Its substantial-looking weave makes it especially suited to tailored upholstery where a dark, quietly textured surface is wanted.

How to use it

Use this warm charcoal colourway on a sofa, armchair or dining seat to anchor lighter stone, ivory and tobacco tones. Its brown undertone also works well with dark timber and brushed metal accents without looking overly severe.

Use this deep brown-charcoal chenille to give upholstery a tailored, quietly textured finish.

Pairs well with

Marabou Antracite 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.
