About this fabric

This colourway is catalogued as Velvet in Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection. Its near-black surface absorbs most of the light, while the short pile creates a restrained sheen and gently shifting depth rather than a high-gloss finish. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its appeal here is the dense, tactile presence and sophisticated darkness visible in the swatch.

How to use it

Use Adamo & Eva Nero on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its soft black tone can anchor pale timber, chalky walls and brushed metal. Its low-key sheen also suits a layered monochrome room without introducing a strong pattern.

A deep black velvet with a restrained nap that adds tonal depth to upholstered seating.

Adamo & Eva Nero 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.
