About this fabric

The near-black tone reads cool and almost charcoal at the raised threads, while the recessed lines create gentle tonal variation across the cloth. Fine horizontal ribs run consistently from edge to edge, giving the surface a compact, tactile appearance. The dense-looking weave and understated colour make this fabric especially suited to upholstery where a tailored, architectural finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use Palermo Black on a structured armchair, sofa or headboard where its near-black tone can anchor lighter walls and warm timber. Pair it with brushed metal, charcoal textiles or pale neutrals to bring out the subtle ribbed texture without competing with it.

A deep black, finely ribbed surface that brings tailored texture to upholstered seating and case pieces.

Palermo Black 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.
