Cover Anthracite

Cover Anthracite is a deep, cool grey textile with a remarkably close, even weave. In the swatch image, its fine horizontal texture gives the surface a quiet ribbed definition without introducing a visible pattern.

About this fabric

The colour sits between charcoal and graphite, with a muted anthracite depth that reads darker where the tiny woven ridges overlap. Its dense micro-texture runs predominantly across the surface, creating a subtle linear movement and a softly matte appearance rather than a sheen. This is catalogued as a fabric for the Pergola collection, and no further specification data is supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use Cover Anthracite on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its cool charcoal tone can anchor lighter stone, grey and natural timber finishes. Its restrained horizontal texture also works well against plain upholstery or softly patterned cushions.

Use this deep anthracite weave to bring a cool, quietly tailored finish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Cover Anthracite 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.
