Ollaberry Roxburgh Sorn

Ollaberry Roxburgh Sorn is a deep charcoal-grey textile with a closely mottled surface. Its near-black depth is softened by fine grey flecks that become more visible across the weave.

About this fabric

This colourway is catalogued as a Fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. The visible surface has a dense, irregular woven texture rather than a printed motif, combining charcoal, graphite and softer grey threads. Its dark tone reads cool and grounded, while the small variations in the weave prevent it from appearing flat or uniformly black. The substantial-looking texture makes it a natural choice for upholstery where a quietly tactile finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use Sorn on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat to add cool charcoal depth without introducing a plain, featureless black. Pair it with pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal so the subtle grey flecking remains visible.

Use this deep charcoal texture to bring quiet depth to upholstered seating and occasional chairs.

Pairs well with

Ollaberry Roxburgh Sorn 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.
