Malvolio Shale is a deep, low-sheen black with a softly mottled surface that keeps it from reading flat. The close weave gives the colour a smoky charcoal depth in the light.

About this fabric
Woven in 100% polyester, Malvolio Shale is a substantial fabric at 508gsm with a strong 70,000 Martindale rating, making it a practical choice for hardworking seating as well as curtains and blinds. The surface shows a fine, even texture rather than a bold pattern, so the black appears softened by tiny tonal flecks and shadowed movement. With no pattern repeat, it gives a clean, uninterrupted finish across larger pieces. It is dry clean only and should not be ironed, so the fabric’s textured face is best preserved with gentle care.
How to use it
Use this colourway on tailored upholstery, dining chairs, or a structured headboard where its charcoal-black tone will add depth without looking stark. It also works well with pale woods, brushed metals, and warm neutrals to lift the darker ground.
A deep charcoal-black with enough texture to soften a sleek scheme.

Pairs well with
Malvolio Shale 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.
