About this fabric

Osumi Charcoal presents as a near-black charcoal grey, softened by a fine, even weave rather than a flat printed finish. The close texture gives the surface a restrained grain, with slight tonal variation visible across the swatch as the light meets the threads. Its plain appearance and dense-looking woven face make it read as a versatile mid-weight textile for upholstery or drapery, based on the image. No composition, width, rub-test, or performance-feature data has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this near-black charcoal as a quiet anchor on tailored seating, roman blinds or full-length curtains. Its restrained plain weave pairs especially well with pale stone, warm timber and brushed metal, adding depth without introducing a visible motif.

Pairs well with

Osumi Charcoal 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.
