Wave Anthracite

Wave Fabric

Wave Anthracite presents a cool, near-black charcoal tone with subtle tonal movement across its woven surface. Fine vertical striations and delicate crosswise threads give the dark ground visible depth.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a deep anthracite grey that sits between charcoal and black, with a cooler cast in the lighter threads. Its compact weave forms a quiet grid, overlaid by fine vertical lines rather than a distinct printed motif. Narrow highlights catch across the threads, preventing the dark colour from appearing completely flat. No further specification data or performance features are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool anthracite shade on a tailored sofa, dining chair or occasional chair where its dense-looking weave can bring depth without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with pale stone, concrete grey or warm timber to balance its near-black tone.

Its cool, near-black grey and restrained weave give upholstered forms a quietly architectural finish.

Pairs well with

Wave 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.
