Etch Racing is a near-black charcoal textile with a restrained vertical texture. Its closely spaced striations create subtle tonal movement across the dark surface without introducing a separate motif.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a dense, finely ribbed weave in deep charcoal, reading almost black in the darker areas. Narrow vertical lines run consistently through the cloth, while slight shifts in sheen keep the surface from appearing flat. This structured texture gives the fabric a strong upholstery character rather than the fluid look of a lightweight curtain cloth. No composition, width or rub-test information is supplied for this exact fabric, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended application.

How to use it

Use Etch Racing to upholster a contemporary sofa, dining chair or occasional chair where its near-black charcoal tone can anchor a room. Pair it with pale timber, warm metal or lighter textured textiles to bring definition to the vertical ribbing.

Pairs well with

Etch Racing 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.
