Nao Black

This Larsen fabric is supplied as a 146cm-wide textile with an approximate vertical repeat of 4cm and horizontal repeat of 7cm, and it is composed of 40% cotton, 25% viscose, 22% polyester, 11% linen and 2% polyamide. In this colourway, the pale base looks warm rather than stark, while the small black marks sit lightly across the surface instead of forming a heavy contrast. The woven face has a dry, natural-hand feel, helped by the cotton and linen in the mix, but the viscose and polyester keep the cloth looking neat and controlled. It is a good choice where you want pattern without strong colour, and the black detailing adds definition without darkening the room. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

Use Nao Black to soften a scheme with oak, limestone and black metal details, where the pale ground will keep the room open. It also works well on simple upholstery pieces or full-length curtains when you want texture that stays calm from a distance.
