Alter Ego Wall Ebano

Name: Alter Ego Wall Ebano

SKU: 002

Alter Ego Wall Ebano is a near-black brown textile with a tightly drawn horizontal rib that gives the surface quiet depth. Its dark ebony tone reads richly understated rather than flat, with the fine weave catching just a trace of light.

About this fabric

The close-set horizontal ribs are clearly visible across the swatch, creating a compact, orderly texture rather than a smooth plain surface. Ebano is a deep brown-black shade with subtle tonal movement between the raised lines, giving the colour a softened, tactile quality. This fabric is catalogued in Dedar’s Fire-retardant collection, with no further composition, width or performance specifications supplied. The dense-looking construction makes it a considered choice for tailored upholstery where a dark, finely textured finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use this deep ebony-brown colourway on a structured armchair, dining seat or sofa to establish a grounded, tailored base. Pair it with warm timber, aged metal and lighter tactile textiles so the fine horizontal rib remains visible against the room’s darker accents.

A dense, finely ribbed textile in a deep ebony-brown tone, suited to tailored upholstery with a quietly architectural finish.

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.
