Tela Italiana Black

Name: Tela Italiana Black
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 24

Tela Italiana Black presents a dense, uninterrupted black surface with only a restrained textile texture visible across the swatch. Its near-matte finish gives the colour a deep, composed presence rather than a reflective sheen.

About this fabric

The swatch is visually plain, with no printed motif or contrasting pattern to interrupt its almost-black tone. A fine, even surface texture prevents the colour from appearing completely flat while retaining its understated character. The cloth reads as a versatile mid-weight option for upholstery or drapery based on the visible swatch. No composition, width, rub test or performance features were supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Tela Italiana Black where a room needs strong tonal definition: on a contemporary occasional chair, a tailored sofa, or simple full-length curtains. Its deep, cool-looking black pairs especially well with pale stone, warm timber and brushed metal.

Use this deep black plain cloth to bring crisp contrast and quiet depth to upholstery or window treatments.

Pairs well with

Tela Italiana 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.
