Galaxy black

Misc Fabric

Galaxy Black reads as a deep charcoal ground with a fine, flecked surface that lifts it beyond a flat black. The close texture gives it a quiet, broken-up finish with tiny points of lighter tone catching through the weave.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, this fabric has a practical man-made composition that suits busy interiors. The colour is a near-black charcoal rather than a true jet black, with scattered lighter specks that create a softly mottled, almost mineral effect across the surface. Its small-scale texture keeps the look understated and modern, while the subtle tonal variation adds depth when light hits it. The overall finish feels smart and restrained, making it a useful option where you want black without a harsh, solid block of colour.

How to use it

Use Galaxy Black on compact seating, accent chairs or dining chairs where the textured finish can be seen up close. It sits well with pale walls, smoked glass and warm timber to balance the depth of the charcoal tone.

Pair with warm woods and matte metals for a refined, low-key look.

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.
