Name: Costa Cinder
Brand: Mark Alexander

Costa Cinder presents a close, even weave in deep charcoal grey, with fine horizontal and vertical flecks creating a quiet tactile surface. Its brown-grey undertone keeps the dark shade from reading as flat black.

About this fabric

This is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied record. The compact, fine-scale weave gives the surface a softly textured appearance rather than a smooth, plain finish. In the swatch image, the charcoal tone is muted and gently warm, with subtle variation across the tightly woven ground.

How to use it

Use Costa Cinder to bring depth to a tailored chair, sofa or simple curtain in a room with warm timber, putty, stone or off-white accents. Its softened charcoal tone adds contrast without the starkness of true black.

A deep charcoal-grey woven texture with a subtle brown warmth, suited to tailored upholstery and understated curtains.

Pairs well with

Costa Cinder 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.
