About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Hue Carbon has the substantial visual presence of a close, compact weave and is best suited to upholstery. The surface is not flat: a delicate crosshatch of darker and lighter grey threads gives the charcoal ground a softly grainy finish. Its cool, low-saturation colour reads almost graphite in the deeper areas, while the raised weave lifts it into a more nuanced mid-grey where light falls across it. No performance features or further specification data were supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Hue Carbon on a tailored sofa, armchair or headboard when a room needs a cool, grounded neutral with more depth than a plain grey. Pair its graphite tone with pale timber, brushed metal or softly contrasting warm neutrals.

A deep charcoal woven texture that brings quiet contrast to tailored upholstery and contemporary interiors.

Hue Carbon 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.
