Karandash Black

About this fabric

The swatch shows a close, pebbled weave in deep black, with tiny variations that create a softly mottled charcoal effect. Its compact texture gives the cloth a substantial upholstery-led appearance rather than a smooth or fluid drape. Light catches the raised fibres unevenly, adding restrained depth without introducing a visible pattern. The supplied record lists no performance features or further specifications for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this charcoal-black colourway with warm timber, brushed metal or pale stone to balance its deep tone. It is especially effective on tailored seating where the tactile surface can soften an otherwise crisp silhouette.

Use this near-black, tactile weave to bring depth and a tailored feel to sofas, armchairs and headboards.

Karandash Black 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.
