Arazova Black/Ivory makes a strong graphic impression, pairing a deep black ground with broad warm-ivory branches. The close-up reveals a tactile, crinkled surface that gives the pattern added depth.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Arazova Black/Ivory shows a large organic motif radiating around a slim central stem, with irregular leaf-like openings and sweeping bands. The black areas look dense and near-ink in tone, while the ivory sections read warmly against them rather than as a stark, cool white. Its visibly textured surface breaks up the flatness of the monochrome contrast, catching light across the raised-looking black pattern. With no performance features noted in the supplied specification, this colourway is best presented as a visually expressive upholstery velvet for considered statement pieces.

How to use it

Set the black and warm-ivory velvet against chalky walls, dark timber or aged brass to reinforce its graphic, slightly dramatic character. Its large branching design is especially effective on a focal armchair, ottoman or upholstered headboard.

Use this high-contrast velvet on a statement chair, headboard or occasional upholstered piece where its branching motif can take centre stage.

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.
