Wavelength Carbon Blue
Handcrafted Modern I Fabric
Wavelength Carbon Blue reads as a cool charcoal blue-grey, with a densely woven surface that shifts subtly between dark and lighter threads. Its fine vertical striations give the plain-looking ground a restrained sense of movement.

About this fabric
The close-up shows a compact, finely textured weave in a deep carbon blue-grey rather than a clear printed motif. Small variations in the interlaced threads soften the colour, while the low-sheen surface keeps the overall impression matte and composed. The visible density makes this textile particularly suited to upholstery. No performance features or further specification data have been supplied for this colourway.
How to use it
Use Carbon Blue on a tailored sofa, dining chair or ottoman where its cool blue-grey depth can anchor pale stone, chalk and warm timber tones. Keep surrounding textiles simple so the subtle vertical weave remains legible.
Its cool charcoal blue-grey tone brings quiet depth to contemporary upholstery.

Pairs well with
Wavelength Carbon Blue 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.
