Queneau Ardesia

Name: Queneau Ardesia
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 029

Queneau Ardesia is a near-black textile with a quiet, finely textured surface. Its charcoal depth reads almost black at first glance, while minute flecks prevent the colour from appearing completely flat.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a very dark charcoal-black ground with a close, understated texture and barely visible tonal variation. Its dense-looking face gives the colour a grounded, tailored character rather than a glossy or decorative effect. The surface catches the light only softly, allowing the near-black tone to remain the dominant impression. No performance features are noted for this fabric in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use Queneau Ardesia for structured upholstery where its near-black charcoal tone can anchor pale timber, stone, cream or warm metallic accents. The subtly flecked surface also helps soften the severity of an otherwise solid black chair or sofa.

A deep, subtly flecked black textile suited to tailored upholstery and contrast with lighter, warmer furnishings.

Pairs well with

Queneau Ardesia 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.
