About this fabric

At 395gsm, Herrera Noir has the substantial weight suited to upholstery, while its 140cm usable width supports efficient covering of larger pieces. The black stripes range from solid, almost ink-like columns to fragmented marks, set against a warm ivory ground that keeps the contrast from feeling starkly white. Its visibly textured woven surface adds a dry, tactile quality to the graphic design. The pattern repeats every 56.7cm vertically and 35cm horizontally, creating a pronounced directional rhythm across a chair, sofa or headboard.

How to use it

Use Herrera Noir on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its black-and-ivory vertical movement can read clearly. Pair the warm ivory notes with natural timber and quiet neutral upholstery, or use black metal accents to reinforce its graphic depth.

A bold black-and-ivory stripe for statement upholstery, balancing graphic contrast with a visibly distressed woven texture.

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.
