About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet from Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection, Dante Acciaio has a dense-looking, softly napped surface suited to upholstery. The colour reads as a balanced charcoal grey with a cool cast rather than a warm brown-grey. Fine tonal variation across the nap keeps the swatch from appearing flat, while the lack of a visible motif gives it a clean, architectural character. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal colourway on a generous sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its subdued velvet nap can add depth to pale stone, chalk or timber surroundings. Pair it with brushed metal and lighter grey textiles for a calm, contemporary scheme.

A cool charcoal velvet with a restrained sheen, ideal for bringing depth to contemporary upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Dante Acciaio 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.
