05 Licquorice is a deep near-black textile with a subtle charcoal cast and a finely textured woven surface. Its quiet tonal variation gives the dark colour more depth than a flat black.

About this fabric

The close, regular weave forms a fine crosshatched texture, with tiny charcoal shifts visible across the almost-black ground. Very faint tonal movement in the surface adds interest without creating a distinct printed motif. The structured appearance makes this colourway particularly suited to upholstery, where its dark, composed character can define a chair or sofa. No composition, width, rub test or other performance specification is supplied for this colourway, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use 05 Licquorice on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its near-black charcoal tone can anchor a room. Balance the depth with ivory, stone, warm wood or brushed brass.

Pair this deep charcoal-black weave with pale timber, warm metals or soft neutrals to balance its near-black depth.

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.
