Batavia Black

Name: Batavia Black
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 102

Batavia Black presents a pale ivory ground crossed by fine black and charcoal lines, forming an irregular woven grid. The close-set marks give the swatch a softly textured, graphic check rather than a flat, solid surface.

About this fabric

The black lines vary subtly in density and definition, creating small shifts between crisp checks and charcoal-like flecks across the ivory ground. This uneven rhythm gives the colourway depth while keeping its overall impression light and quietly contrasted. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so the character of this fabric is defined here by its visible woven texture and two-tone pattern.

How to use it

Use the ivory-and-black colourway to bring measured contrast to a neutral room, particularly on a tailored armchair, bench or cushion. Its pale ground keeps the check from feeling heavy, while the dark lines can connect with black metal, timber or ink-toned accents.

A graphic ivory-and-black check for tailored upholstery, cushions or structured window treatments.

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