Kantha Black has a softly mottled pale grey ground, traversed by dense black broken marks that give the surface a quietly graphic character. Its irregular woven texture is clearly visible in this colourway.

About this fabric

Short black dashes appear scattered across the pale grey ground, creating a fine, almost hand-worked pattern rather than a strict repeat. The contrast is softened by the light grey base, so the overall impression is textured and nuanced rather than stark. The visible weave reads as a versatile mid-weight textile suitable for upholstery or drapery. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Kantha Black to add subtle monochrome texture to a contemporary chair, headboard or curtain. Its pale grey tone works especially well with chalky whites, charcoal and natural timber.

The pale grey ground and broken black marks bring a tactile, graphic layer to upholstery or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kantha Black without fighting it. 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.
