Gobi Fabric

Gobi Monochrome has a closely packed black-and-white surface that reads as charcoal grey from a short distance. Its fine, grainy texture gives the colourway a softly mottled depth rather than a flat solid appearance.

About this fabric

This Kirkby Design fabric is defined by a dense monochrome weave, with tiny light and dark yarns creating a crisp, salt-and-pepper effect. The overall tone sits on the cool side of grey, while the broken flecks prevent the black elements from feeling severe. Subtle shifts in the woven surface create low-contrast tonal movement across the swatch, giving plain upholstery a little visual texture without introducing a strong repeated motif. No composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Gobi Monochrome on a contemporary sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool charcoal-grey ground can balance pale timber, stone and warm neutral accents. Pair it with solid black details for definition, or soften it with off-white boucle and natural wood.

Use this finely flecked monochrome weave to bring quiet contrast and a tailored feel to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Gobi Monochrome 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.
