About this fabric

The face is visually dense and tactile, with a fine pile that runs in subtly changing directions across the swatch. Rather than a flat solid black, the colour moves through charcoal and slate-grey highlights as the nap catches the light, giving it depth and a quietly dramatic mood. The surface reads as a plush upholstery cloth from its substantial, furry appearance. No composition, width, rub-test or additional performance data has been supplied for this exact fabric, so the finished application should be confirmed with a sample.

How to use it

Use this charcoal-black colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its plush nap can create depth against pale timber, warm neutral walls or softly lit interiors. Pair it with brushed metal and muted grey textiles for a luxe, tonal scheme rather than a stark black-and-white contrast.

A deep charcoal-black plush with subtle tonal variation and a softly directional nap, suited to dramatic upholstery.

Lupo Lupo 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.
