About this fabric

The colour reads as a layered graphite grey rather than a flat black, with tiny warm-grey flecks adding quiet depth to the surface. Its fine woven texture is especially visible where the fabric bends, shifting between softly lit silver-grey and deeper charcoal. The cloth has a substantial-looking, structured appearance in the swatch image, making it well suited to upholstery rather than lightweight window treatments. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair Obscura Ember with warm timber, smoked oak and tactile neutrals to draw out its subtle warmth, or use it on a tailored chair or sofa against pale stone walls for a sharper charcoal contrast.

Use this softly textured charcoal grey on tailored seating, where its subtle warmth and tonal variation can be appreciated.

Pairs well with

Obscura Ember 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.
