About this fabric

This colourway reads as carbon charcoal: cool, shadowed and very close to black, with a restrained variation visible across the face. The surface has a close, softly fibrous texture that catches the light unevenly rather than forming a visible motif or pattern. That subtle tonal movement keeps the dark colour dimensional while preserving its quiet, smart character. No composition, width, usage or performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use 29 Carbon as a grounding shade on a contemporary sofa or occasional chair, or as dark drapery alongside pale stone, warm timber and brushed metal. Its softened black tone is especially effective where a room needs depth without a high-contrast, glossy finish.

Use this deep carbon tone to bring quiet contrast and subtle texture to upholstery, curtains or layered schemes.

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.
