Gobi Fabric

Gobi Dusk is a deep charcoal-grey textile with a finely mottled surface rather than a pronounced motif. Its close, grain-like texture creates a quietly dimensional appearance, with lighter threads catching across the dark ground.

About this fabric

The visible weave combines charcoal, graphite and softer grey flecks, giving this colourway a cool, settled depth. The surface appears tightly woven and subtly tactile, with no large-scale pattern to interrupt its consistent texture. This is catalogued as a fabric for upholstery, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification. Its restrained tonal variation keeps the finish smart while preventing the charcoal shade from reading as flat black.

How to use it

Pair Gobi Dusk with pale oak, brushed metal or warm ivory upholstery piping to lift its cool charcoal tone. It also works as a grounding fabric for a tailored armchair, sofa or bench in a contemporary room.

Use this deep charcoal-grey texture to give upholstered seating a tailored, quietly sophisticated finish.

Pairs well with

Gobi Dusk 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.
