Marzac Noir

Malou Fabric04885-09

Marzac Noir is a tightly textured geometric fabric with a dark, architectural look. In this colourway, the black ground is lifted by warm stone-toned bars that create a crisp, graphic rhythm across the surface.

About this fabric

Marzac Noir from Manuel Canovas’ Malou collection is a fabric with a strong small-scale woven pattern and a distinctly structured feel. The composition is 60% viscose, 25% cotton, 8% linen and 7% polyester, and the cloth is approximately 144cm wide with a repeat of V 20cm / H 36cm approx. Visually, the colourway reads as deep black with narrow light taupe and bone-coloured slivers, giving the pattern a layered, almost stacked appearance. The finish feels tailored rather than glossy, with the lighter threads catching the eye against the dark ground. With its smart contrast and defined texture, it brings a graphic edge without feeling overly ornate.

How to use it

Use this colourway on an upholstered chair, ottoman or banquette where the small repeat can be appreciated up close. It pairs well with pale plaster, walnut and brushed metal for a sharp, contemporary contrast.

Use it to add sharp contrast and tailored texture to a scheme.

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