Adamo & Eva Encre

Name: Adamo & Eva Encre
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 197

Adamo & Eva Encre appears as a near-black ink purple velvet with an exceptionally quiet, uniform face. Its short nap catches just enough light to reveal the softness of the surface without introducing a visible pattern.

About this fabric

Catalogued as Velvet, Adamo & Eva Encre has the plush, close-textured appearance associated with a velvet surface. In this colourway, the purple is so deep that it reads almost black at the edges and in the shadowed areas, while the nap brings out a restrained blue-violet softness across the face. The plain construction keeps the emphasis on tone and changing light rather than motif or weave. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this cool, near-black purple on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its velvety depth can anchor pale stone, warm timber or softly contrasting metallic accents.

Use this near-black ink purple on upholstered seating to bring depth and a quietly dramatic finish.

Pairs well with

Adamo & Eva 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.
