About this fabric

This colourway reads as a deep brown-black rather than a flat jet black, with subtle brown and charcoal variation woven through the dark surface. Its dense, napped texture has a gently irregular appearance, with tiny loops and stray fibres creating quiet movement. The restrained palette gives the fabric a grounded, understated mood, while the soft highlights stop it from looking completely uniform. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended project.

How to use it

Use Brown/Black - 2013/16 on a statement chair, sofa or ottoman where its almost-black brown tone can anchor warmer timber, leather and muted neutral schemes. Keep surrounding surfaces relatively calm so the close, tactile texture remains the main point of interest.

Use this deep brown-black textile to give upholstered pieces a grounded, tactile finish.

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.
