Name: Gabba Graphite

Gabba Graphite has a deep charcoal-grey ground with a visibly chunky, irregular weave. Its raised threads create a broken grid effect, giving the swatch substantial visual depth.

About this fabric

The close-up shows dark graphite fibres interlaced in uneven horizontal and vertical bands, with lighter flecks catching across the surface. The coarse, nubby construction reads as a weighty upholstery textile rather than a fine, fluid cloth. The supplied catalogue lists this as a fabric, with no performance features noted. In this colourway, the near-black grey tone makes the woven relief feel particularly strong and architectural.

How to use it

Use Gabba Graphite on a statement armchair, sofa or ottoman where its cool charcoal depth can anchor lighter walls and warm timber. Pair it with soft grey, ivory or brushed metal accents to bring out the subtle highlights in the weave.

Use the cool charcoal tone to ground upholstered seating, especially alongside pale timber, soft grey or brushed metal.

Gabba Graphite 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.
