Monsieur Baudelaire Quasinero

Name: Monsieur Baudelaire Quasinero
Brand: Dedar

Monsieur Baudelaire Quasinero is a deeply shaded velvet with an almost black surface and a quiet, soft nap. Its subtly varied face catches the light just enough to reveal the depth within the dark tone.

About this fabric

This swatch is catalogued as a Velvet from Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection. The Quasinero colourway reads as near-black charcoal rather than a flat, absolute black, with a faintly softened surface visible across the pile. Its plain face and low-key lustre keep the emphasis on tonal depth and tactile velvet texture. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use it on a tailored sofa, occasional chair or headboard where the near-black charcoal tone can anchor pale stone, smoky grey or warm timber finishes. Keep surrounding textures matte to let the velvet’s subtle nap provide the room’s quiet touch of sheen.

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

Pairs well with

Monsieur Baudelaire Quasinero 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.
