About this fabric

The surface shows irregular, undulating bands that move across the cloth like layered timber grain, with tighter vertical lines visible at the left edge. Fine horizontal texture runs through the ground, while the slightly lighter pattern catches the light without becoming high contrast. This dense-looking woven surface is best classified for upholstery from the visible cloth weight and texture. No composition, width, rub-test or performance specification is supplied for this SKU, so those details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use Athénée Carbon Blue on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool charcoal-blue tone can anchor paler grey, natural timber and muted metallic finishes. The tonal pattern adds movement while keeping the overall look composed and tailored.

Use this cool, dark blue-grey upholstery to add quiet movement and depth to contemporary or tailored furniture.
