Forever Nero

Name: Forever Nero
Brand: Dedar

Forever Nero is a deep, near-black plain fabric with a softly textured face. Its even colour reads as matte in the swatch, with just enough surface variation to prevent the black from looking flat.

About this fabric

The Nero colourway sits very close to black, with a restrained charcoal depth visible across the face of the swatch. A fine, low-contrast texture gives the plain surface quiet dimension without introducing a visible motif or contrast. Supplied as an outdoor fabric with Outdoor performance, it is intended for exterior applications where a composed, tailored finish is wanted. The dense-looking black tone gives upholstered forms a crisp, graphic presence.

How to use it

Use Forever Nero on outdoor dining chairs, loungers or a streamlined bench where its near-black tone can anchor pale stone, concrete and warm timber. Pair it with brushed metal or soft grey cushions to keep the scheme tonal rather than stark.

A quietly architectural black outdoor cloth for tailored seating and contemporary exterior schemes.

Forever Nero 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.
