Olympia Graphite is a tightly woven plain with a cool graphite-grey surface and a quietly textured, heathered look. The tone sits firmly in the darker end of grey, giving it a tailored, modern feel.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a fine, even weave with small speckled highlights that stop the graphite from reading flat or harsh. Made from 100% polyester, Olympia is specified for contract use and has a 40,000 Martindale rub test, making it suitable for hardworking seating. The fabric is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request, and it should be professionally dry cleaned in situ. Its muted grey-black depth and dry, textured hand give it a disciplined, understated finish that works well where a plain needs to look crisp rather than soft.

How to use it

Use Graphite on banquettes, dining chairs or lobby seating where a darker neutral will anchor lighter walls and timber. Its cool grey tone pairs well with white, blackened metal and restrained colour accents.

A practical charcoal-neutral that reads clean and tailored on seating or contract upholstery.

Olympia 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.
