Mendel Magnet

Name: Mendel Magnet
Brand: Romo

Mendel Magnet presents a cool charcoal-grey surface with a close, finely grained weave. Tiny shifts between dark and lighter grey yarns give the cloth a softly heathered depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The compact woven surface is built from closely spaced yarns, creating a restrained crosshatched texture visible across the swatch. Its charcoal ground reads sophisticated and slightly industrial, while fine pale flecks keep the shade from appearing completely solid. The colour remains muted rather than stark, making the weave and tonal variation the main visual detail. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal colourway on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its subtle woven texture can add depth without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with warm timber, soft stone and brushed metal to balance its cooler grey tone.

The cool charcoal tone and finely grained weave suit tailored upholstery and modern, quietly layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Mendel Magnet 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.
