Cosima Midnight is a richly shaded velvet with a deep midnight-blue cast and a soft, light-absorbing pile. In the swatch, the colour reads almost black at first glance, then reveals cool blue depth as it catches the light.

About this fabric

This colourway from the Cosima Velvet II collection has a dense, softly lustrous surface that gives the plain velvet a quietly luxurious finish. The 140cm approximate width and 56% viscose, 44% cotton composition make it a substantial textile suited to upholstery, with the velvet pile creating subtle shifts between inky black and blue-green tones across the surface. With a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx, it is a plain cloth rather than a patterned design, so the focus stays on the depth of the pile and the way light skims the nap. The overall effect is dark, cool and elegant, with a depth that feels more graphite-blue than bright navy.

How to use it

Use Cosima Midnight on a sofa, occasional chair or ottoman where its near-black blue tone can anchor the room without flattening it. It works especially well with pale stone, smoked oak and warm brass for contrast.

A dark, moody velvet for tailored seating and dramatic accent pieces.

Pairs well with

Cosima Midnight is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
