Name: Tobago - Fusain

About this fabric

The colourway combines near-black charcoal, misty grey and subdued blue-green threads in a layered, uneven stripe. Pale horizontal ridges break up the darker bands, while the looped, nubby pile gives the swatch a distinctly tactile appearance. The dense-looking construction reads as a robust upholstery textile rather than a fine, fluid cloth. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Fusain on a relaxed sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool charcoal depth can anchor a room. Pair it with chalky whites, weathered timber and muted blue-green accents to draw out the cooler threads.

A tactile, chunky weave with irregular horizontal striping, well suited to relaxed 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.
