Arbi Outdoor Charcoal

Arbi Outdoor Charcoal has a deep, near-black charcoal tone with subtle vertical variation across its woven surface. The low-contrast texture gives the swatch a soft, tactile depth rather than a flat solid appearance.

About this fabric

This colourway is catalogued as an Outdoor fabric and reads visually as a substantial upholstery textile. Its charcoal ground shifts gently between blackened grey and softer graphite tones, creating depth without a visible motif. Fine vertical striations and a lightly mottled surface catch the light unevenly, keeping the dark shade from looking harsh or completely uniform.

How to use it

Use Arbi Outdoor Charcoal on outdoor seating or contemporary upholstered pieces where its cool, near-black tone can anchor pale stone, warm timber and muted green accents. Its restrained texture also suits a smart, monochrome scheme without introducing a strong pattern.

A deep charcoal outdoor upholstery cloth with understated woven texture and a quietly tailored feel.

Pairs well with

Arbi Outdoor 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.
