About this fabric
The close-up reveals a finely ridged textile surface crossed by branching, uneven lines, creating a crackled effect rather than a regular woven motif. Coal-grey and near-black tones shift subtly across the surface, with the raised texture catching slightly lighter highlights. The dense-looking construction makes this fabric particularly convincing for upholstery, where its dark, textured face can bring depth to a chair, headboard or occasional seat. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this colourway.
How to use it
Use 05 Coal on a statement armchair, dining seat or headboard where its cool, almost-black charcoal tone can anchor lighter walls and warm timber. Pair it with brushed metal, smoked glass or soft neutral textiles to balance the pronounced crackled texture.
Use this deep coal shade to give upholstery a dramatic, tactile finish.

05 Coal is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
