Kensey Hurricane

Kensey Fabric

Kensey Hurricane brings a near-black charcoal depth to the Kensey design. In close view, its tiny woven texture and barely perceptible vertical tonal variation create a restrained, tactile surface rather than a flat solid.

About this fabric

Kensey Hurricane is a densely woven textile in a near-black charcoal tone. Its surface shows a fine, closely spaced dotted grid, while faint vertical shifts in the weave keep the dark ground from appearing completely flat. The compact-looking weave gives the swatch a structured visual presence well suited to upholstery. No performance features or further technical specifications are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this near-black charcoal colourway on a tailored armchair, dining seat or compact sofa where its subtle texture can soften the severity of a very dark tone. Pair it with pale timber, warm metallics or light neutral walls to reveal the fine weave.

A dense charcoal weave for tailored upholstery and quietly dramatic interiors.

Pairs well with

Kensey Hurricane 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.
