About this fabric

The swatch reads as a cool carbon blue softened by closely scattered grey and pale threads, giving the ground a softly mottled, salt-and-pepper depth. Its compact weave is visibly fine and irregular rather than smooth, with tiny horizontal and vertical slubs breaking up the colour across the surface. This textile is catalogued as Fabric, and no performance features or further specification data are supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use Curtis Carbon Blue on a tailored sofa, dining chair or occasional chair where its cool blue-grey tone can anchor warmer timber, cream upholstery and brushed metal. The fine flecking adds depth without introducing a strong pattern.

A cool charcoal blue-grey weave that brings quiet texture and depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Curtis Carbon Blue 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.
