Fractal Charcoal

Name: Fractal Charcoal
Brand: Harlequin
SKU: HAF0153-02

Fractal Charcoal pairs a deep charcoal ground with tightly arranged pale grey spiral discs, creating a cool, graphic surface with considerable visual depth. The broken circular motifs catch the light differently across the swatch, softening the contrast without losing definition.

About this fabric

The design is formed from repeated circular spirals and radiating broken lines, with the pale marks standing clearly against the dark charcoal background. Its 66 cm vertical repeat and 70 cm horizontal repeat give the pattern a measured, medium-scale rhythm across the cloth. At 300 gsm and 140 cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight choice for upholstery, cushions, curtains and other interior applications. The standard length is 30 m, making it suitable for coordinated larger-scale schemes where pattern placement matters.

How to use it

Use Fractal Charcoal to anchor a contemporary room with cool grey upholstery, or introduce it on full-length curtains and cushions against softer stone, chalk and brushed-metal tones. Its dark ground gives pale wood and warm neutral furnishings a sharper graphic edge.

Use the cool charcoal ground and pale spiral geometry to bring graphic definition to seating, curtains or cushions.

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