Kateri Charcoal

Esala FabricSCF0014-06

Kateri Charcoal presents a cool, layered grey ground traced with tightly drawn concentric circles and small diamond forms. The charcoal tone reads softly mottled across the woven surface, giving the compact geometry depth rather than a stark graphic effect.

About this fabric

The design combines repeated circular linework with angular diamond intersections, creating a precise geometric rhythm across the charcoal-grey face. Fine tonal variation in the weave keeps the pattern measured and textural, while the cool shade gives it a quiet, architectural mood. At 494 gsm with 96 threads per cm, this is a dense, substantial fabric well suited to upholstery applications. It has a 136 cm usable width, a 30 m standard length, and pattern repeats of 16.5 cm vertically and 17 cm horizontally.

How to use it

Use Kateri Charcoal on a tailored sofa, armchair or dining seat where its cool grey depth can anchor warmer timber, brushed metal or pale stone. The small-scale repeat works particularly well across structured forms, allowing the concentric pattern to remain visible without overwhelming the upholstery.

A substantial charcoal geometric weave suited to tailored upholstery, where its fine concentric pattern can add depth without dominating the room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kateri Charcoal without fighting it. 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.
