Pool Nero

Name: Pool Nero
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 003

Pool Nero presents a sharply defined black-and-white houndstooth across the swatch, with a cool, graphic contrast that reads clearly at close range. Its woven surface has subtle tonal variation rather than a flat printed appearance.

About this fabric

The small houndstooth repeat alternates bright ivory-white and deep black marks, creating a lively pattern with an overall charcoal impression where the motifs meet. Fine woven texture softens the contrast slightly and gives the surface a gently mottled depth. The supplied performance feature is Outdoor, making this colourway suited to upholstery applications where its hard-edged pattern can provide a tailored counterpoint to plainer fabrics. Pool Nero has a smart, monochrome character that remains visually strong without introducing a warmer colour cast.

How to use it

Pair Pool Nero with solid charcoal, white or pale grey cushions to reinforce its cool monochrome palette. On outdoor seating, its compact houndstooth can act as the graphic element against quieter plains and natural finishes.

Use this high-contrast black-and-white weave to give outdoor seating a crisp, tailored finish.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Pool Nero without fighting it. 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.
