Fibre Noir

Fibre Noir has a richly mottled, closely woven surface that shifts between warm greige, charcoal and black. Fine vertical movement runs through the weave, giving the dark colourway depth rather than a flat appearance.

About this fabric

The textile combines tiny charcoal and black flecks with a warm greige ground, creating a nuanced noir effect that reads softer than solid black. Its dense, granular weave is visibly tactile, with irregular vertical striations adding subtle direction across the surface. The close scale keeps the design understated while the tonal contrast gives it definition at swatch level. No further specification or performance data has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Fibre Noir on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its warm greige base can soften the depth of the charcoal and black flecks. Pair it with pale timber, chalky walls or brushed metal to bring out the weave’s quiet tonal variation.

Use this softly contrasted greige and charcoal weave to bring depth to contemporary upholstery without introducing a strong pattern.

Pairs well with

Fibre Noir 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.
