Pavo Noir

Equinox 2 Fabric FabricCCF0680-06

Pavo Noir is a dense, dark woven fabric with a precise field of tiny pale diamond-shaped highlights. Its near-black charcoal ground gives the swatch a cool, understated depth, while the small light pattern catches the surface evenly.

About this fabric

The 506gsm weight gives Pavo Noir a substantial, upholstery-suited handle, with a closely packed weave visible across the swatch. Charcoal-black yarns form the ground, interrupted by small ivory-grey diamond flecks that create a restrained black-and-light contrast rather than a bold graphic pattern. The pattern repeat measures 6cm vertically and 1.5cm horizontally, keeping the motif fine and closely spaced on upholstered forms. It is supplied in a usable width of 138cm, with a standard length of 40m.

How to use it

Use Pavo Noir on a structured armchair, dining chair or sofa when a room needs a cool charcoal anchor with subtle pale texture. Pair it with smoked timber, blackened metal and warm ivory accessories to soften the depth without losing its tailored character.

Use this dense charcoal weave on tailored upholstery where its pale, pinprick geometry can add depth without dominating the room.

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.
