About this fabric

This Dedar velvet reads as charcoal at first glance, with cool navy-blue depth visible where the nap catches the light. The surface is plain rather than patterned, but its fine, softly brushed texture prevents the colour from appearing flat. Slight vertical changes in sheen give the swatch a restrained sense of movement while keeping the overall look dark and composed. As a velvet fabric, it is particularly well suited to upholstery where its dense visual character can lend depth to a chair, sofa or headboard.

How to use it

Use Alpaca Alto Notte on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard when a room needs a cool, near-black blue anchor. Pair it with pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal to bring definition to its deep tone without losing its quietly luxurious mood.

A near-black blue velvet that brings depth and quiet drama to upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

Alpaca Alto Notte 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.
