Misc Fabric

Dark Grey - 2002/03 has a deep charcoal appearance, almost black at first glance, with fine curled fibres creating a visibly dense and tactile surface. Subtle grey highlights shift across the close-up, preventing the colour from reading as completely flat.

About this fabric

The fabric is formed by a closely packed field of short, irregular curls and wispy fibres, giving the surface a soft, woolly visual character. Its dark grey tone is cool and strongly shaded, with scattered lighter strands picking out the texture rather than forming a repeated motif. The supplied record contains no composition, width, rub-test or performance specification. As a textile with a substantial-looking, highly textured face, this colourway is best considered for upholstery rather than delicate, fluid drapery.

How to use it

Pair this deep charcoal colourway with pale timber, warm ivory or brushed metal to make the near-black surface feel considered rather than severe. It would bring quiet depth to a plain armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard while allowing lighter furnishings to stand out.

Use this near-black charcoal tone on upholstered seating where its dense, tactile surface can add depth without introducing a visible pattern.

Dark Grey - 2002/03 is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
