Olympia Anthracite is a deep charcoal plain with a tightly woven, pebble-like texture that gives the surface quiet depth. The shade reads cool and urban, with only a faint softening at the yarn edges under light.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a dense, small-scale weave in a dark anthracite grey, with subtle tonal variation that keeps the surface from looking flat. It is made from 100% polyester and is specified for contract use, so it is a practical choice where performance and appearance both matter. The cloth is rated at 40,000 Martindale, making it suitable for hardworking seating, and it is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request. After care is professional dry clean in situ, please refer to the pattern book for further care instructions. The overall effect is sharp, restrained and contemporary, with a low-sheen finish that works especially well in darker interior schemes.

How to use it

Use Olympia Anthracite on contract upholstery, banquettes or clean-lined accent chairs where a deep neutral will ground the room. It pairs well with pale timber, brushed metal and stone for a crisp contrast.

A dark, versatile charcoal for tailored seating and contract interiors.

Pairs well with

Olympia Anthracite 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.
