Absolu - Graphite is a quiet, near-uniform grey with a cool charcoal cast. The swatch shows a subtle close texture rather than a contrasting motif, giving the colourway its depth through tonal variation.

About this fabric

The Graphite colourway reads as a deep, cool grey, softened by the barely visible texture across its surface. Its low-contrast appearance creates a composed, architectural feel, while the charcoal tone gives more visual weight than a pale grey without appearing black. The supplied record lists no performance features or further technical specifications, so project suitability should be checked against the full product information.

How to use it

Pair this cool graphite grey with pale stone, chalk white and brushed metal for a restrained contemporary room. Its dark neutral tone can also anchor lighter upholstery or provide quiet depth in full-length drapery.

Use this cool graphite plain weave to bring quiet depth to contemporary upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Absolu - Graphite 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.
