Karakorum Charcoal

Name: Karakorum Charcoal
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 006

Karakorum Charcoal is a very deep charcoal swatch with an almost-black appearance in the image. Its compact, nubby surface creates a fine diagonal grain that keeps the dark colour from reading as flat.

About this fabric

The tightly textured face is made up of small, irregular raised fibres, giving the swatch a softly rugged, bouclé-like character. Charcoal and black tones dominate, while the directional surface catches small variations of light across the cloth. This is catalogued as an upholstery fabric in Dedar’s Upholstery fabrics collection, making its substantial visual weight particularly suited to seating. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use Karakorum Charcoal on a structured sofa, armchair or dining seat where its near-black tone can add depth without the reflective polish of a smooth velvet. Pair it with pale timber, chalky walls or warm metal so the fine surface texture remains visible against the dark ground.

A near-black charcoal ground with a dense, tactile surface for tailored upholstery and quietly dramatic interiors.

Karakorum Charcoal 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.
