About this fabric

Mentone Black is catalogued as a Fabric in Dedar’s Fabrics collection, with no performance features noted in the supplied data. This colourway pairs dense black vertical bands with soft ivory stripes for a sharply contrasting, tailored look. Its fine woven texture gently breaks up the solid black areas, so the surface reads as dimensional rather than flat. The narrow repeat gives the design a controlled, architectural rhythm.

How to use it

Use Mentone Black on a statement armchair, dining seat or headboard where its black ground can anchor a room. Pair the ivory lines with pale stone, warm white or natural timber for contrast without losing the pattern’s smart, graphic character.

Use this high-contrast black and ivory stripe to give upholstered seating a tailored, graphic finish.

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