About this fabric

Part of the Olympia collection by J Brown, this colourway is a plain design in 100% polyester with a contract usage rating and a durable 40,000 Martindale abrasion result. The swatch reads as a cool, smoky charcoal with fine tonal variation across the weave, which softens the darkness and stops it feeling harsh. Its compact texture suggests a fabric made for seating and other hard-working interior applications, and the back-coated finish is supplied to Cigarette & Match to BS5852. Professional dry clean in situ is recommended, with other treatments available upon request.

How to use it

Use this charcoal shade on sofas, banquettes or dining chairs where you want a sharp, modern base colour. It pairs especially well with pale oak, black metal and lighter neutrals for contrast.

A practical charcoal plain that adds depth and a tailored finish to high-traffic seating.

Pairs well with

Olympia Bowler Hat 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.
