About this fabric
This colourway reads as a very dark charcoal-black rather than a flat jet black, with fine horizontal striations visible in the weave. The surface has a dry, understated texture that catches the light just enough to reveal movement across the cloth. It is made from 100% polyester and has a 140cm width, with a 0cm pattern repeat for easy matching. The strong, even darkness gives it a crisp, tailored look that feels more refined than glossy. Care instructions are NQT1<.
How to use it
Use this shade to anchor contemporary upholstery, where its low-key texture will add depth without drawing attention away from the shape of the piece. It also suits stark contrast schemes with pale walls, warm timber and metallic accents.
A sleek dark neutral that works well on tailored seating or dramatic soft furnishings.

Pairs well with
Kensington 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.
