About this fabric

This Dedar textile is catalogued as an Outdoor fabric, with Outdoor performance specified for the colourway. The surface is formed by minute diagonal lines rather than a visible printed motif, creating a finely textured, almost pebbled appearance. Its near-black navy tone feels restrained and architectural, with subtle variation where the light catches the tightly woven face. The compact, substantial-looking weave makes it particularly well suited to upholstered forms.

How to use it

Use this cool ink-blue upholstery on contemporary outdoor seating or tailored cushions, where its near-black depth can anchor pale stone, warm timber and soft grey surroundings. The restrained texture also suits clean-lined indoor pieces that need a discreet, graphic navy finish.

A cool, near-black navy with a fine woven texture for tailored outdoor upholstery.

Pairs well with

Amaral Encre De Chine 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.
