Horizon Anthracite

Outline Fabric

Horizon Anthracite has a deep charcoal-grey appearance, crossed by exceptionally fine horizontal lines that create subtle surface depth. The restrained tone gives the swatch a cool, composed presence.

About this fabric

The tightly lined weave is visibly regular rather than patterned, with narrow ribs running consistently across the fabric. Its anthracite shade sits between charcoal and near-black, while the closely spaced texture prevents the surface from appearing flat. The finely structured face reads as a versatile upholstery textile with a neat, tailored character. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Horizon Anthracite on a streamlined sofa, dining chair or ottoman where its cool charcoal tone can anchor softer grey, stone and pale timber tones. The fine horizontal texture also works well against smoother materials such as leather, painted wood or polished metal.

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.
