Rivoli Chocolat

Rivoli III Fabric04982-11

Rivoli Chocolat is an almost-black chocolate brown with a low, even sheen that reads refined rather than glossy. The plain surface keeps the colour depth front and centre, giving the swatch a calm, enveloping presence.

About this fabric

Rivoli Chocolat from the Rivoli III collection by Manuel Canovas is composed of 93% cotton and 7% modal, with an approximate width of 140cm and no visible repeat. The image shows a very deep brown ground that sits close to black in low light, but reveals a softer cocoa warmth where the surface catches. Its finish appears smooth and tightly woven, with the subtle lift of modal preventing the colour from looking flat. The result is a restrained, formal textile that feels substantial enough for upholstery and versatile enough for coordinated interior schemes.

How to use it

Use this shade on a sofa, banquette or headboard where the dark chocolate tone can anchor lighter walls, pale timber and brass details. It also works well in layered, moody rooms with tobacco leather, walnut and warm neutrals.

A rich near-black brown that works beautifully for tailored upholstery and dark, elegant schemes.

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.
