About this fabric

The colour sits close to black, but the soft charcoal cast keeps it from reading as a flat, absolute black. A fine, even woven texture is visible across the surface, with only slight tonal variation as the light catches the fibres. No further specification data is supplied for this fabric, so its character here is defined by the cool, matte-looking colour and compact surface.

How to use it

Use Ice Carbon on a contemporary sofa, armchair or dining seat where its cool charcoal tone can anchor pale timber, stone and softly contrasting neutral textiles.

A cool charcoal-black ground that brings quiet depth to contemporary upholstery.

Ice 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.
