Rock Fabric

Rock Carbon settles into a deep charcoal grey with a subtle salt-and-pepper effect. Its close, granular weave keeps the surface visually quiet while adding depth beyond a flat solid.

About this fabric

Rock Carbon is a deep charcoal grey, softened by a dense scatter of lighter grey and near-black fibres across the surface. The close view shows a fine, even woven texture rather than a drawn motif, giving the cloth a quiet peppered depth. Its cool, restrained tone reads as sophisticated and grounded, particularly where the weave catches the light. No composition, width, rub-test or performance data is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal colourway on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its low-contrast texture can provide a strong, understated base. Balance the depth with chalky walls, pale oak or warm off-white accents.

Use the cool charcoal tone to anchor pale timber, brushed metal and softly contrasting neutral upholstery.

Rock 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.
