About this fabric

The close-up shows fine tonal variation running vertically through the anthracite ground, creating a restrained strié effect. The dark grey shade reads cool and sophisticated, while the lightly raised woven texture catches the light in narrow, uneven traces. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric. Its compact-looking surface is especially suited to tailored upholstery where the subtle texture can add depth without introducing a strong pattern.

How to use it

Use this cool anthracite colourway on a clean-lined armchair, sofa or dining seat to create a quiet charcoal foundation. Pair it with pale stone, smoked wood and brushed metal, or add warmer rust and tobacco accents to soften its depth.

A deep, cool grey with subtle vertical texture for tailored upholstered seating.

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.
