Faze Fabric

Faze Indian Ink is a deep charcoal-grey textile with a cloudy, softly variegated surface. Its layered grey tones give the swatch a cool, atmospheric depth rather than a flat black appearance.

About this fabric

The close-up reveals an abstract, mottled texture built from charcoal, graphite and lighter smoky-grey passages. Subtle shifts across the surface create a softly brushed impression, with the lighter areas catching the eye like diffused light across the cloth. The dark Indian Ink tone gives the fabric a composed, tailored character while retaining visual movement through its tonal variation. As no further performance or composition specifications were supplied, this description is based on the visible colour and surface only.

How to use it

Use Indian Ink on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool charcoal depth can anchor pale stone, silver-grey and washed timber tones. Pair it with simple silhouettes so the clouded surface remains the feature.

Use this deep charcoal-grey colourway to bring quiet depth to tailored upholstery and contemporary seating.

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.
