Rock Fabric

Band Monochrome pairs broad, near-black vertical bands with a warm ivory ground, creating a sharply graphic colourway with a tactile surface. The contrast is bold and architectural rather than colourful.

About this fabric

The close-up shows two deep black stripes set against a pale, warm ivory background. Slightly irregular stripe edges and the visible raised texture keep the strong linear pattern from appearing overly stark or machine-flat. The fabric is catalogued as a textile SKU and reads as a substantial woven suitable for upholstery. Its monochrome palette gives the design a smart, contemporary character while the ivory softens the severity of the black.

How to use it

Use Band Monochrome to upholster a clean-lined armchair, bench or occasional sofa where its tall black bands can act as a strong vertical feature. Pair it with warm ivory, charcoal and natural timber to echo its balanced light-and-dark tone.

A graphic black-and-ivory stripe that brings strong architectural contrast to contemporary upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Band Monochrome 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.
