About this fabric

Zambales Charolite is a textile fabric with a dense, irregular crosshatched surface visible across the swatch. The near-black charcoal ground is threaded with muted aubergine and plum-violet flecks, giving this colourway a cool, shadowed depth rather than a bright purple effect. The compact-looking weave reads most naturally for upholstery. No performance features are noted in the supplied data, so suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended project.

How to use it

Use its deep aubergine-purple tone on an armchair, sofa or headboard, balancing the dark weave with pale stone, smoky grey or warm timber accents.

Use this deep aubergine-purple weave to bring quiet depth to contemporary upholstered seating.

Zambales Charolite 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.
