Phibblestown Carbon

Chiaroscuro Fabric

Phibblestown Carbon pairs a pale, cool grey ground with sharply defined charcoal lines in a tightly interlocking geometric design. The restrained contrast gives the swatch a graphic, architectural character without a bright or saturated colour note.

About this fabric

The pattern is formed from repeated angular links, elongated hexagonal shapes and curved intersections, creating a dense but orderly lattice across the cloth. Charcoal lines sit clearly against the pale grey background, while the slightly softened edges keep the design from appearing stark black-and-white. The close-up reads as a matte textile with no visible sheen, making the geometric structure the main visual feature. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use the cool pale grey ground to lighten a room while introducing charcoal through painted furniture, blackened metal or dark timber. Its repeating geometry would suit a tailored occasional chair, coordinated cushions or full-length curtains where the pattern can be read across a larger surface.

The cool charcoal lattice gives this pale grey colourway a crisp, architectural presence on upholstery or window treatments.

Pairs well with

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