Tela Italiana Dark Bown

Name: Tela Italiana Dark Bown
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 81

Tela Italiana Dark Bown is a near-black brown textile with a remarkably even, low-sheen appearance. Its deep tone reads almost espresso-black at the edges, while softer lighting reveals its brown warmth.

About this fabric

The swatch has a plain, uninterrupted face with only very subtle tonal variation across the dark surface. Its dense-looking, opaque appearance gives the colour a grounded weight that is well suited to upholstery. No performance features or further technical specifications are noted for this fabric, so suitability should be confirmed for the intended project. The almost-black brown tone brings more warmth than a true black while retaining a smart, restrained character.

How to use it

Pair this near-black brown with warm timber, tobacco leather or softly contrasting cream to prevent the upholstery from feeling flat. It is especially effective on tailored seating where its quiet surface and deep tone can provide visual anchoring.

Use this deep brown textile to give upholstery a grounded, quietly tailored presence.

Tela Italiana Dark Bown 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.
