About this fabric

Catalogued as a Fabric in Dedar’s Upholstery fabrics collection, Nena Onyx has no performance features noted in the supplied information. The design is formed from dense-looking black lines crossing a warm cream ground in an uneven windowpane grid. Small variations in the woven lines keep the pattern tactile and handmade-looking, while the strong black-and-cream contrast gives the colourway a crisp, graphic presence. The darker threads create clear visual depth across the swatch rather than reading as a flat print.

How to use it

Use Nena Onyx to give an occasional chair, headboard or sofa a tailored graphic focus, then soften its black-and-warm-cream contrast with natural timber, dark metal or quiet neutral upholstery. Its structured grid particularly suits rooms that need pattern without a busy multicoloured effect.

A graphic black-and-cream grid that brings structured contrast and tactile interest to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Nena Onyx 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.
