About this fabric

The small, regular interlacing creates a firm-looking surface with visible depth rather than a flat, uniform colour. In this Lava colourway, charcoal leads from a distance while warmer brown and subtle copper notes emerge across the weave in closer light. The tightly constructed appearance gives the fabric a smart, grounded character suited to upholstery. Lutetia Fr Lava is catalogued as a fabric from Dedar’s Fire-retardant collection; no further composition, width or performance figures are supplied.

How to use it

Use this deep charcoal-brown weave on a sofa, armchair or headboard where its dark, subtly variegated surface can anchor warmer timber, aged metal and earthy neutrals. Pair it with lighter boucle or natural linen to bring out the small copper-brown highlights.

A dark, tightly woven colourway that brings understated depth to upholstered seating and occasional pieces.

Lutetia Fr Lava 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.
