Name: Circuit Anthracite

Circuit Anthracite has a pale ivory ground marked by fine anthracite lines in an irregular, architectural arrangement. The restrained contrast keeps the geometric design light and quietly graphic.

About this fabric

The pale ivory ground gives this colourway a soft, chalky appearance, while the anthracite embroidery adds a cool grey definition. Tall, uneven panels are divided by delicate horizontal lines and occasional short crossbars, creating a loosely assembled geometric grid. The fine linear detail remains subtle against the light ground rather than reading as a dense repeat. This is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Use Circuit Anthracite for softly tailored curtains where its cool ivory ground can brighten the room and its anthracite grid can echo dark architectural or metal details. Keep surrounding textures quiet so the fine linear embroidery remains legible.

Pair the cool ivory ground and fine anthracite grid with softly tailored curtains in a calm, architectural scheme.

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.
