About this fabric

This Dedar fabric reads as a cool blue-black, with only a slight lift in the surface revealing its blue undertone. The swatch appears plain and finely textured, giving the dense colour a soft visual depth without a visible motif. Catalogued as Outdoor, with Outdoor listed as its performance feature, Forever Encre is intended for exterior textile applications. Its composed, dark tone gives outdoor upholstery a tailored and understated character.

How to use it

Pair Forever Encre with pale stone, chalk or weathered timber to bring definition to an outdoor setting, or use it with charcoal accents for a deliberately deep, monochrome scheme.

Use this deep ink navy on outdoor seating or cushions where a nearly black blue brings a crisp, tailored finish.

Pairs well with

Forever Encre 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.
