About this fabric

Rugby Carbone is catalogued as a fabric in Dedar’s Chenille fabrics collection. Shown close up, its dense surface is formed from short, irregular loops and broken horizontal lines rather than a flat plain weave. The near-black charcoal ground is lifted by chalk, silver-grey and warm off-white flecks, giving the colourway a dry, peppered depth as the texture catches the light. No performance features are noted in the supplied information, so the close-up weave is the defining feature presented here.

How to use it

Use this deep charcoal colourway on a structured sofa, armchair or ottoman where its pale flecks can soften an otherwise dark upholstery scheme. Pair it with warm timber, aged metal and quiet stone tones to bring out the weave’s subtle contrast.

A dense charcoal ground with pale flecks brings tactile contrast to tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Rugby Carbone 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.
