Cloud Anthracite

Name: Cloud Anthracite
Brand: Kirkby Design

Cloud Anthracite presents a deep charcoal-grey ground with a repeating field of softly raised hexagons. Its plush surface catches the light unevenly, giving the geometric pattern subtle depth rather than a flat, printed appearance.

About this fabric

The medium-scale honeycomb motif is picked out by gently lighter, padded-looking edges against the anthracite ground. The cool grey tone reads as deep and atmospheric, while changes in the pile create soft smoky highlights across individual hexagons. The visible construction has a plush, velvety character that makes this textile particularly suited to upholstered seating. No further performance or construction specification is supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use Cloud Anthracite on a generous armchair, headboard or sofa where its deep cool grey and tactile hexagonal relief can act as a textural focal point. Pair it with pale stone, smoked timber and brushed metal for a quietly dramatic scheme.

Use this deep, cool-toned geometric upholstery to bring architectural texture and a quietly dramatic finish to seating.

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