About this fabric

The pattern alternates horizontal and vertical bands, creating a measured basket-like geometry across the surface. Fine pale grey lines sit against the anthracite ground, so the design reads as textured and quietly dimensional rather than high-contrast. Its dense, structured appearance makes it best suited to upholstery. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair the cool anthracite tone with pale timber, chalky walls or brushed metal to emphasise its graphic clarity. On a chair, headboard or compact sofa, the directional blocks can add pattern without introducing a brighter accent colour.

Use this dense anthracite textile to bring graphic structure and cool depth to upholstered seating.

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.
