Heritage Panama Charcoal

Helix Fabric

Heritage Panama Charcoal is a quietly textured dark grey cotton with a close, even weave that reads almost graphite in the light. The tone is cool and restrained, giving the fabric a clean, tailored presence.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and supplied at 140cm wide, this Heritage Panama colourway has a plain, tightly worked surface with no repeat. The charcoal shade is deep and low-sheen, with the weave softening the colour into a muted graphite grey rather than a flat black. Its fine texture gives just enough visual detail to stop the cloth feeling severe, while keeping the overall effect crisp and composed. Care instructions are AQV1<.

How to use it

Use this charcoal to anchor modern seating, dining chairs or a headboard where you want a darker, more architectural finish. It pairs well with pale timber, warm metal and off-white walls for contrast.

A dark, versatile charcoal that gives seating a clean tailored look.

Pairs well with

Heritage Panama 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.
