Nell Flint is a deep brown-black textile with an almost charcoal appearance. Its surface is enlivened by fine horizontal striations, giving the plain colour a quiet sense of movement.

About this fabric

The near-black brown tone reads cool and subdued rather than warm or reddish, creating a rich, grounding impression. Across the surface, delicate horizontal lines and slight tonal variation reveal the woven texture without forming a distinct pattern. This is a plain textile with a dense-looking, softly tactile finish that catches the light very gently. No composition, width, rub test or additional performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Nell Flint to bring depth to a contemporary seating scheme, or pair it with pale stone, chalk and smoky grey so its brown-black tone remains the defining accent. Its restrained horizontal texture also suits tailored curtains and cushions where a dark plain cloth could otherwise feel flat.

Use this deep brown-black woven texture to add depth and a quietly tailored finish to seating, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

Nell Flint 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.
