Ricordi Dark Grey

Name: Ricordi Dark Grey
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 171

Ricordi Dark Grey has a tightly repeated, two-tone weave that shifts between charcoal and lighter grey across the swatch. Its compact surface gives the colour a shaded, dimensional appearance rather than a flat solid finish.

About this fabric

The fabric is visibly formed from a dense micro-pattern of alternating dark and pale grey threads, creating a subtle checked or basket-like texture. The charcoal base makes this colourway feel cool, grounded and distinctly deeper than a standard mid-grey. Its compact woven appearance makes it a strong choice for upholstery, particularly where a small-scale surface texture is wanted. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Ricordi Dark Grey on a sofa, bench or occasional chair where its cool charcoal tone can anchor softer grey, stone and off-white furnishings. Pair it with brushed metal or pale timber to draw out the weave’s crisp tonal contrast.

A dense charcoal-and-grey micro-weave that brings quiet pattern and depth to upholstered furniture.

Ricordi Dark Grey 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.
