About this fabric

Shown close-up, Midnight reads as a deep charcoal grey that approaches black in its darkest areas. A fine crosshatched weave is visible across the face, creating understated texture rather than shine or ornament. The dense-looking surface has the visual weight of an upholstery cloth, with the dark tone lending seating a crisp, tailored appearance. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification was supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool, almost-black charcoal on a sofa, chair or headboard where its subtle weave can soften a solid dark block of colour. Pair it with pale timber, chalky walls or warm metal accents to bring out the gentle tonal variation in the cloth.

A deep charcoal woven texture that brings quiet definition to upholstered seating and case pieces.

Pairs well with

Sahara Iii Midnight 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.
