About this fabric

This is a plain velvet with no visible motif, and the supplied specification records 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats. At 540 gsm, it has a substantial, closely surfaced handle suited to upholstered furniture. The deep charcoal-grey tone reads almost black in the shaded folds, while raised areas reveal a softer graphite glow. Its 141 cm usable width provides a practical, generous cut for upholstery applications.

How to use it

Use this cool graphite colourway on a statement sofa, armchair or dining seat where its dark, plush surface can anchor pale stone, warm timber and brushed-metal surroundings. The shifting nap adds quiet depth without introducing a printed pattern.

A deep, light-catching graphite velvet that brings tailored richness to upholstered seating and occasional pieces.

Pairs well with

Performance Velvets Graphite 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.
