Duo 170

Weave Fabric

Duo 170 has a deep charcoal-grey ground enlivened by fine lighter threads throughout the close, even weave. Its small-scale texture reads as quietly tactile rather than patterned.

About this fabric

The image shows a compact woven surface with a softly pebbled, peppered appearance created by interlaced charcoal and grey yarns. The darker tone gives the cloth visual depth, while the lighter flecks prevent it from reading as flat black. Its restrained texture and substantial-looking weave make it read particularly well for tailored upholstery. No composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Duo 170 on a structured armchair, sofa or dining seat where its charcoal tone can anchor pale woods, warm neutrals and brushed metal. The subtle grey flecking also works with layered grey textiles without introducing a strong motif.

A close charcoal-grey weave with subtle light flecking for tailored upholstery and understated contemporary schemes.

Pairs well with

Duo 170 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.
