Silvano Carbon

Name: Silvano Carbon
Brand: Black Edition

Silvano Carbon is a deep charcoal-black textile with a softly mottled surface and a low-contrast, irregular crosshatch. Its layered striations give the dark colour visible depth rather than a flat black appearance.

About this fabric

Across the swatch, fine horizontal and vertical marks form an uneven, block-like grid that resembles a weathered crosshatched weave. Subtle grey-black variation catches across the surface, creating a dry, brushed texture within the predominantly charcoal ground. The near-black tone gives the fabric a grounded, architectural mood, while the softened texture prevents it from looking stark or glossy. Its dense-looking construction makes it a strong upholstery choice where a dark, textural finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use Silvano Carbon on a contemporary sofa, occasional chair or upholstered panel, balancing its cool charcoal depth with warm oak, ivory upholstery accents or pale stone. The irregular texture also works well against smooth metal and polished surfaces.

Pair this deep charcoal textile with pale timber, concrete tones or brushed metal for a measured contemporary scheme.

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.
