About this fabric

Irregular branching lines create a broad organic pattern, with the charcoal markings appearing slightly lighter than the aubergine ground. Fine horizontal threads remain visible beneath the design, adding a restrained textile grain rather than a flat printed look. The low-contrast colouring keeps the large-scale motif atmospheric, while subtle shifts in the surface catch the light across the dark purple tone. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this deep aubergine-charcoal colourway with smoked timber, blackened metal and muted stone tones for a dramatic, cocooning upholstery scheme. It is particularly effective on a statement chair, bench or sculptural sofa where the flowing grain can remain visible.

Use this deep aubergine-charcoal colourway to bring a moody, textural finish to upholstered seating and statement furniture.

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