Manhattan Charcoal

Misc Fabric

Manhattan Charcoal is a sharply graphic fabric with a cool charcoal ground and a lighter stone-toned oval motif set in neat vertical rows. The contrast is subtle rather than bright, giving the pattern a refined, textural look.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Manhattan Charcoal has a practical 140cm width and a 26.5cm pattern repeat. The surface reads as a textured jacquard, with soft light-grey forms that sit against a dark charcoal background for a layered, tonal effect. The palette feels cool and understated, with the lighter motifs catching the eye without breaking the overall depth of the cloth. Its structured repeat and medium-scale pattern make it especially suited to upholstery where you want pattern presence without visual noise. Care code AQV1< is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a compact armchair, ottoman or banquette where the charcoal ground can anchor the room. It works particularly well with pale oak, concrete finishes and crisp white or soft grey paint.

Pairs well with pale woods and matte black accents for a tailored, contemporary look.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Manhattan Charcoal 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.
