Velluto Nero

Dimora FabricCCF0616-02

Velluto Nero combines a deep charcoal-black ground with tightly repeated, pointed motifs in ivory, ochre and muted grey. The close-set pattern has an ikat-like, architectural rhythm, while the textured surface softens the contrast between its dark and light tones.

About this fabric

The charcoal ground gives this colourway a notably deep, cool presence, with ochre and tan accents adding warmth inside each elongated, shield-like motif. Ivory edges and muted grey-blue details create a broken, woven-looking outline rather than a flat geometric effect. At 204 gsm and 138 cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight fabric for upholstery and drapery. The pattern repeats every 15.5 cm vertically and 22.5 cm horizontally, making the regular arrangement easy to read across a length; the standard length is 40 m.

How to use it

Use Velluto Nero on a statement chair, bench or full-length curtain where its charcoal depth can anchor a room. Repeat the ochre notes with aged brass, walnut or tobacco leather, and balance the dense motif with plain ivory or stone textiles.

Pair the charcoal ground with warm timber, aged brass and ivory upholstery for a graphic, layered scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Velluto Nero 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.
