Nico Charcoal

Other Fabrics & Weaves Fabric

Nico Charcoal shows a small geometric pattern in warm taupe and dark brown, giving the cloth a structured, tailored look. The tiny linked motif reads crisp and evenly repeated across the surface.

About this fabric

This Fryett's Fabrics design is a fabric, woven in 65% polyester and 35% cotton, with a 140cm width and a 4.7cm pattern repeat. In this colourway the ground sits in a muted taupe-gold tone, while the lattice outline is picked out in a deep brown that gives the pattern a clear, graphic edge. The overall effect is earthy rather than bright, with a dry woven texture that softens the geometry. It has enough visual structure for upholstery, while the smaller repeat keeps the surface feeling neat and controlled. Care instructions are AQW1<.

How to use it

Use Nico Charcoal on a compact chair, ottoman, or dining seat where the small repeat can read clearly across the curves and edges. Its warm taupe-brown palette works well with oak, aged brass, and textured neutrals.

A compact geometric weave with a warm metallic cast for tailored, polished interiors.

Pairs well with

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