Sumo Panther
Sumo Fabric
Sumo Panther presents a dramatic near-black surface formed from sweeping, rounded raised bands. Its plush pile shifts subtly between charcoal highlights and deep shadow across the sculptural pattern.

About this fabric
Catalogued as a fabric, Sumo Panther has no performance features noted in the supplied information. The visible design is made up of broad, softly twisted ribs set against darker recessed channels, giving the surface a bold, dimensional rhythm. Its dense-looking pile reads as velvety and tactile, while the charcoal-black tone keeps the overall effect moody rather than glossy. This substantial visual weight makes it especially suited to statement upholstery where the raised texture can be seen and felt.
How to use it
Use Sumo Panther on a feature chair, ottoman or deeply upholstered sofa in a dark, layered room. Balance its near-black plush relief with warm timber, aged brass or softly lit neutral walls to reveal the charcoal highlights.
Use this near-black plush texture to give statement upholstery a rich, tactile finish.
Pairs well with
A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Sumo Panther 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.
