About this fabric

The design is formed from large, indistinct waves and clouded markings rather than a sharply defined motif, giving the surface a fluid, atmospheric character. Subtle shifts between charcoal, black and softened graphite grey prevent the colourway from appearing flat. A fine, even woven texture is visible beneath the low lustre, while angled highlights bring out the fabric’s gently reflective finish. No performance features are noted in the supplied information, so its appeal here is primarily the depth, movement and quietly luxe surface shown in the swatch.

How to use it

Pair Jacopo Carbon with pale stone, smoked oak or warm ivory to create contrast against its cool, near-black depth. It can add a cocooning, sophisticated note to a dark scheme without introducing a strong contrasting pattern.

Use this dark, softly lustrous textile to bring depth and a quietly dramatic finish to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

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