Tessuto Nero/Silver

Dimora FabricCCF0614-03

Tessuto Nero/Silver combines a cool silver-taupe ground with expressive black and charcoal swirls that curl vertically across the surface. Fine linear texture and softly blended warm-grey accents give the pattern a tactile, painterly depth.

About this fabric

This 202gsm fabric has a mid-weight presence suited to both upholstery and drapery applications. Its 97cm vertical and 49cm horizontal pattern repeats create a clearly directional rhythm, with dark plume-like forms standing out against the lighter ground. The Nero/Silver colourway is predominantly cool and smoky, while muted beige and taupe notes soften the contrast between the silver field and near-black details. The fabric has a 139cm useable width and a standard 40m length.

How to use it

Use this cool silver-taupe colourway on a statement chair, headboard or coordinating curtains where its black swirling motifs can be read at close range. Pair it with charcoal, aged timber and pale stone to echo its smoky depth without competing with the pattern.

The cool silver-taupe ground and dark flowing motifs bring graphic movement to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Tessuto Nero/Silver without fighting it. 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.
