Cubist Anthracite

Outline Fabric

Cubist Anthracite presents a deep charcoal ground with a quiet geometric structure, visible in overlapping rectangular blocks and fine horizontal lines. Its near-black tone gives the pattern a subdued, architectural depth.

About this fabric

The densely woven surface combines anthracite and slightly lighter charcoal threads, creating a tonal cubist arrangement rather than a high-contrast pattern. Fine horizontal ridges run through the rectangular sections, adding a dry, tactile texture that becomes clearer where the light catches the cloth. The supplied specification lists no performance features for this fabric, so its appeal here is the depth and definition of the woven surface itself.

How to use it

Use Cubist Anthracite on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard where its cool charcoal depth can anchor pale stone, smoked oak and brushed metal. Keep surrounding patterns quiet to let the subtle rectangular grid read at close range.

Its deep charcoal tone and restrained geometric weave suit tailored upholstery in modern, low-contrast schemes.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cubist Anthracite without fighting it. 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.
