About this fabric

The stripe is narrow and regular, running diagonally across the cloth in alternating charcoal and muted blue-green tones. A fine ridged texture breaks up the darker ground, allowing the lighter bands to catch the light gently rather than appearing flat. This is a textile suited to upholstery based on its visibly dense, structured surface. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so its appeal here is principally visual: restrained colour, directional pattern and tonal depth.

How to use it

Use this dark charcoal-teal colourway on a tailored armchair, dining seat or contemporary sofa where its diagonal rhythm can read clearly. Pair it with pale stone, smoked timber and brushed metal to bring out the cool blue-green cast without making the room feel stark.

The deep charcoal-teal ground and fine diagonal stripe give upholstery a tailored, quietly graphic finish.

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