Jazz Mole

Name: Jazz Mole
Brand: Mark Alexander

Jazz Mole is a near-black charcoal textile with a restrained, close-woven texture visible across the swatch. Its almost-black tone reads deep and grounded rather than glossy or highly contrasted.

About this fabric

The supplied catalogue identifies Jazz Mole as a Fabric, with no performance features noted. In the image, the surface appears dense and subtly woven, with fine tonal variation preventing the charcoal-black colour from looking completely flat. The very dark shade gives the cloth a composed, tailored presence, while the low-contrast texture adds quiet depth when viewed up close.

How to use it

Use Jazz Mole on a structured armchair, sofa or dining seat where its deep charcoal-black tone can anchor a room without introducing a visible pattern. Pair it with pale timber, warm metal or softly coloured textiles to bring definition to the dark woven surface.

Use this deep charcoal-black weave to give upholstered pieces a quietly tailored, architectural finish.

Pairs well with

Jazz Mole 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.
