Topo Graphite

Name: Topo Graphite
Brand: Zinc Textile

Topo Graphite brings a dark, atmospheric character to the Teatro collection, with pale grey contour lines moving across a graphite-black ground. The layered drawing resembles a close-up topographic map or flowing mineral strata.

About this fabric

Fine, irregular lines sweep and fold into tightly packed eddies, giving the surface a strong sense of movement despite its restrained charcoal and pale grey palette. The graphite ground reads cool and deep, while the lighter lines catch the eye as delicate tracery rather than a bold contrast. Its dense, all-over pattern makes this colourway particularly suited to upholstery where the graphic surface can become a defining feature. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Topo Graphite on a statement chair, ottoman or sofa, balancing its cool, near-black depth with chalky neutrals, smoked glass and warm timber.

Use this deep graphite colourway to bring graphic depth to upholstered seating, pairing it with pale stone, black or brushed metal accents.

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