About this fabric

This fabric is catalogued as a Velvet from Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection. Against the near-black olive ground, the angular lines shift between bronze and muted tan, creating a maze-like pattern with strong visual depth. The pile catches the light softly across the surface, tempering the precision of the geometric motif with a tactile, plush appearance. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this deep olive-charcoal colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or ottoman, pairing it with aged brass, dark timber and warm stone tones to draw out the bronze linear detail.

Use the deep olive-charcoal ground to anchor seating alongside warm timber, aged brass or earthy neutrals.

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.
