About this fabric

The close-up shows a dense soot-black ground with fine, organic pebbling running across the surface. Subtle variations in the grain catch the light just enough to reveal the texture, while the overall colour remains firmly charcoal-black. The surface has a restrained, low-sheen appearance rather than a glossy finish. Its substantial visual weight makes this colourway particularly well suited to upholstery where a dark, tactile finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use Presley 05 Soot on a generously shaped armchair, sofa or dining seat, pairing its cool black depth with warm timber, brushed metal or softly coloured textiles for contrast.

Use its deep soot tone to give upholstered furniture a sleek, quietly tactile finish.

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.
