Pamina Onyx is a quietly lustrous silk with a smooth, lightly slubbed surface and a subdued mushroom-taupe tone. The finish catches the light gently, giving the colourway a soft depth rather than a sharp shine.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% silk and measuring approximately 138cm wide, Pamina Onyx has no visible pattern repeat, making its appeal all about surface and colour. The swatch reads as a muted taupe with grey-brown undertones, shifting slightly warmer or cooler as the light moves across the weave. Its fine silk texture shows a gentle horizontal striation and a soft, natural variation that keeps the cloth from feeling flat. With no performance features noted and a BM fire code, it is best chosen where the elegance of the silk finish is the priority. The overall effect is refined, understated and quietly luxurious rather than glossy or high-contrast.

How to use it

Use Pamina Onyx for lined curtains, Roman blinds or tailored cushions where a calm, neutral depth is needed. Its smoky taupe tone works especially well with walnut, limestone and aged brass.

A restrained silk with a subtle sheen that suits tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

Pamina Onyx 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.
