Elbert Tungsten is a cool, charcoal-leaning grey with a finely woven surface that shifts gently between darker and lighter threads. Its quiet crosshatch texture gives the colour depth without introducing a visible motif.

About this fabric

The close-up shows fine horizontal and vertical yarns forming a restrained woven grid, with subtle tonal variation across the surface. The grey remains cool and muted, while lighter threads catch the light to prevent it from reading as a flat blackened shade. This balanced, textile-led texture makes the fabric suitable for either upholstery or drapery. The supplied record notes no performance features and provides no further specification data such as composition, width or rub test.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal grey to bring definition to pale neutrals, concrete tones or brushed metal, where its fine crosshatch texture can add depth without a strong pattern. It would also suit tailored seating or simple full-length curtains in a contemporary room.

A cool charcoal-grey weave that brings understated texture to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Elbert Tungsten 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.
