Oswin Charcoal

Name: Oswin Charcoal

Oswin Charcoal gives the Kemble design a cool, deep-toned presence, with closely packed vertical lines creating a crisp pinstripe effect. The close-up shows charcoal and pale grey threads with a subtly tactile woven surface.

About this fabric

The narrow vertical stripes alternate between deep charcoal and lighter grey, producing a finely detailed pattern rather than a bold graphic band. Its cool charcoal tone reads grounded and understated, while the lighter threads keep the surface from appearing flat. The visible weave has slight textural variation that softens the precision of the stripe. No further composition, width, rub-test or performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Oswin Charcoal where a room needs tailored definition without a high-contrast pattern: it would bring quiet structure to a streamlined chair, blind or full-length curtain. Balance its cool charcoal depth with pale stone, chalky grey or warm timber tones.

The fine vertical stripe brings tailored definition to upholstery, cushions, blinds or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Oswin Charcoal without fighting it. 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.
