Matador Asphalt

Name: Matador Asphalt
Brand: Warwick

Matador Asphalt is a deep charcoal-grey colourway with a quiet, shadowed presence. Its soft surface catches the light unevenly across the folds, revealing gentle shifts between graphite, smoke and near-black.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Matador Asphalt has a smooth, softly piled appearance in the supplied image, with no visible motif or contrasting pattern. The dark asphalt tone reads cool and understated, while the directional surface creates softly blurred highlights along the raised folds. Deeper creases settle into almost-black shadows, giving the cloth a sculptural depth rather than a flat charcoal finish. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Matador Asphalt on a statement sofa, occasional chair or headboard where its deep charcoal tone can anchor a room. Pair it with pale stone, weathered timber or brushed metal to draw out the subtle light-and-shadow movement in its surface.

A deep asphalt-grey cloth with a soft, directional surface that suits tailored upholstery and dark, atmospheric interiors.

Pairs well with

Matador Asphalt 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.
