About this fabric

The close-up shows a predominantly charcoal surface, with delicate horizontal threads creating a restrained linear texture rather than a distinct printed pattern. Slight shifts between blackened grey and softer graphite tones give the cloth quiet depth as the light moves across it. The weave reads as substantial and tailored, making this colourway particularly suited to upholstery-led schemes. No performance features or further technical specifications are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Orion Cinder on a contemporary sofa, armchair or dining seat where its dark graphite tone can anchor softer greys, warm timber and brushed metal. Pair it with pale flooring or chalky walls to keep the charcoal weave from feeling too heavy.

A quietly tailored charcoal weave that suits contemporary upholstery and tonal, layered schemes.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Orion Cinder without fighting it. 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.
