Stratum Charcoal

Marika FabricCCF0535-03

Stratum Charcoal combines a deep charcoal-grey ground with pale, irregular geometric outlines that link across the surface. Fine horizontal striations give the design a softly weathered, tactile appearance rather than a flat printed look.

About this fabric

This woven fabric has a usable width of 138 cm and a weight of 243 gsm, giving it a versatile mid-weight suitable for upholstery or drapery. Its interlocking, softened hexagonal forms repeat every 23.5 cm vertically and 23 cm horizontally. Charcoal and near-black threads create depth through the horizontal weave, while the light outlines sharpen the pattern without making it feel stark. The overall effect is cool, graphic and quietly textural.

How to use it

Use Stratum Charcoal on a tailored occasional chair, headboard or full-length curtain where its cool charcoal tone can anchor a room. Pair it with warm timber and pale upholstery to bring out the contrast between the dark striations and light geometric lines.

Use the charcoal ground and pale geometric outlines to bring graphic structure to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Stratum 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.
