Matrix Charcoal

Misc Fabric

Matrix Charcoal has a dark, graphite look with a subtle woven check that reads crisp rather than flat. The surface shows a fine texture and a soft, shadowed sheen across the folds.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester and measuring 140cm wide, Matrix Charcoal combines a practical cloth with a tailored, textural finish. The 17.8cm pattern repeat gives the design a defined structure, while the charcoal ground and darker interlacing threads create a low-contrast, layered effect. In the image, the weave appears tight and slightly granular, with the light catching the raised threads to give the surface depth without any shine-heavy gloss. Care instruction NQT1< is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

This deep charcoal works well on statement chairs, banquettes and fitted cushions where the small-scale pattern can add depth without feeling loud. It also suits contemporary drapery in scheme-heavy rooms, especially alongside pale walls, oak, or matte black detailing.

Pair with pale oak, blackened metal and crisp neutrals for a tailored, modern look.

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