Silhouette Graphite

Name: Silhouette Graphite
Brand: Zinc Textile

Silhouette Graphite presents a dark charcoal ground traced with an all-over, symmetrical damask design. Its closely related grey tones give the pattern a restrained, shadowed appearance rather than a high-contrast effect.

About this fabric

The fabric is visibly woven with a fine, lightly flecked texture, while slender tonal lines define scrolling floral and shield-like damask forms across the surface. The graphite background reads cool and deep, with the raised-looking pattern catching just enough light to reveal the repeat. No performance features are noted in the supplied information, so suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended upholstery or drapery application.

How to use it

Pair this cool graphite colourway with pale stone, smoke grey or aged-metal accents to make the outlined motif legible without introducing sharp contrast. It would bring a composed, quietly formal note to a dark sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain.

Use the deep graphite ground to bring quiet, tonal pattern and depth to upholstery, curtains or layered schemes.

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.
