About this fabric

The image shows an almost-black anthracite ground with faint charcoal variation running across the surface. Subtle vertical striations and cloudy tonal shifts keep the colour from appearing flat, while the close weave reads as dense and substantial. The restrained texture is especially suited to upholstery, where its dark depth can give a chair, sofa or headboard a quietly tailored appearance. Its low-sheen finish keeps the overall impression subdued rather than glossy.

How to use it

Use Faze Anthracite on a structured sofa or occasional chair against pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal. The cool near-black tone also works well for grounding rooms built around soft grey and muted mineral shades.

A deep, near-black textile that brings quiet definition and a modern, tailored feel to upholstered furniture.

Pairs well with

Faze 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.
