Olavi Charcoal

Olavi Charcoal has a deep, cool charcoal ground that reads almost black at first glance, softened by a tightly packed scatter of pale grey texture. Its close-up surface has a fine, subtly pebbled character rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

This Romo Okero colourway is a dense textile weave, with tiny irregular loops or flecks creating a granular surface across the charcoal base. The contrast is restrained: cool grey threads catch the light in small points, preventing the shade from appearing completely flat or solid. The dark tone gives the fabric a composed, tailored presence on upholstered seating, while the fine texture adds depth at close range. It is catalogued as Fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied details.

How to use it

Pair the cool charcoal tone with pale stone, chalky grey or smoked timber for a calm contemporary room. On a sofa, bench or occasional chair, its fine flecked weave can introduce texture without adding a strong pattern.

Use this cool, near-black charcoal weave to give upholstered seating a quietly tailored, contemporary finish.

Pairs well with

Olavi 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.
