Ion Pinecone

Ion Fabric

Ion Pinecone is a deep charcoal-grey textile with a softly weathered, abstract surface. Its low-contrast tonal variation gives the dark colour depth without introducing a strong graphic motif.

About this fabric

The fabric shows a close woven texture, with fine horizontal definition beneath irregular smoky patches and shadowed vertical marks. Its charcoal base shifts subtly between graphite grey and near-black, creating a cool, restrained appearance rather than a flat solid. The softly mottled surface catches the light unevenly, making the colour feel deeper in some areas and gently lifted in others. This textured, substantial-looking cloth is particularly suited to upholstery where its tonal variation can remain visible across a larger form.

How to use it

Use Ion Pinecone on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair in a contemporary room layered with pale stone, aged timber and brushed metal. Its cool charcoal tone also works as a grounding neutral beside softer greys and muted green accents.

Use this deep charcoal tone on upholstered seating to bring quiet depth to a modern, tonal scheme.

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.
