Hercules 03 Anthracite is a tightly woven textile with a finely gridded surface. Its charcoal ground is broken by small pale-grey flecks, creating depth without a bold printed motif.

About this fabric

The image shows a compact, highly regular check formed by contrasting dark charcoal, grey and off-white threads. The close weave gives the surface a firm, substantial appearance, making upholstery the most natural application for this fabric. As the catalogue identifies it as a fabric, this colourway is presented here as a textile rather than a wallcovering. Anthracite keeps the overall impression cool and quietly dramatic, while the lighter threads prevent the dark tone from appearing flat.

How to use it

Use it on a tailored armchair, dining seat or compact sofa where the charcoal tone can anchor a room. Pair the cool anthracite check with pale stone, brushed metal and softly textured grey accents for a restrained contemporary scheme.

Use this cool, dark woven check to give upholstery a tailored, architectural edge.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside 03 Anthracite 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.
