About this fabric

The swatch appears as a deep charcoal black, softened by a faint grey cast rather than a hard, flat black. Its velvet surface is plain and even, with a restrained sheen that becomes visible as the pile shifts across the sample. There is no printed motif; the interest comes from the tonal movement and softly tactile finish. Catalogued as a Velvet fabric, this substantial-looking colourway is particularly well suited to upholstery where its dark, polished character can be appreciated at close range.

How to use it

Pair this smoky charcoal velvet with pale stone walls, warm timber or brushed metal to balance its near-black depth. It is especially effective on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard where the gentle nap adds quiet richness without introducing a pattern.

Use this near-black charcoal velvet to bring depth and a softly lustrous finish to upholstered seating.

Adamo & Eva Fumo 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.
