About this fabric

The anthracite colour reads as a balanced, softened charcoal rather than a deep black, giving the pattern a restrained and architectural mood. Repeating vertical octagons and horizontal stepped shapes create a precise interlock, while the fine woven surface adds gentle tonal variation across the swatch. The fabric is catalogued as Fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification. Its structured appearance makes it suitable for upholstery and drapery where a tailored geometric finish is wanted.

How to use it

Pair this cool anthracite-grey colourway with pale stone, chalk or warm timber to soften its graphic precision. It works particularly well on a clean-lined chair, bench or tailored curtain where the interlocking pattern can remain clearly visible.

Use its cool anthracite tone and ordered geometry to bring quiet structure to upholstery, cushions or tailored drapery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Interlock 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.
