About this fabric

This Dedar fabric is catalogued as a textile from the Fire-retardant collection, with no further performance or composition specifications supplied. Its dark brown ground reads almost charcoal in the deepest areas, while the horizontal weave catches lighter brown traces across the surface. The compact, even texture gives the swatch a composed and tailored appearance, with enough tonal variation to prevent the plain colour from looking flat.

How to use it

Use this espresso-brown colourway on a structured chair, sofa or ottoman where its subdued horizontal texture can balance pale stone, smoked oak and warm metallic details. It would also bring depth to a room built around cream or softly greige upholstery.

Its deep espresso tone and fine horizontal texture suit tailored upholstery, especially with warm wood, bronze or stone accents.

Pairs well with

Alter Ego Ebano 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.
