Launay Lead

Launay Lead is a deep, cool charcoal grey with a restrained woven texture. The near-black tone shifts gently across the surface, revealing the close structure of the cloth without introducing a visible motif.

About this fabric

This Romo fabric has a tightly packed, fine plain weave in a dark lead-grey colourway. Subtle vertical and horizontal variations in the weave keep the almost-black surface from appearing completely flat, while the low-key finish gives it a composed, tailored character. No composition, width or rub-test information is supplied for this colourway, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use Launay Lead on a structured armchair, sofa or dining seat where its cool charcoal tone can anchor pale timber, soft grey and brushed-metal details. Its quiet surface is also well suited to a clean-lined contemporary interior that needs depth without a pattern.

Use this deep charcoal tone to bring quiet definition to tailored upholstery and contemporary rooms.

Pairs well with

Launay Lead 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.
