Name: Nouvelles Vagues Petrified Wood
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 001

Nouvelles Vagues Petrified Wood pairs a deep olive-charcoal ground with repeated, irregular ivory lines that ripple horizontally across the surface. The restrained contrast gives this velvet a graphic character without making the pattern feel loud.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet from Dedar’s Nouvelles Vagues collection, this colourway has a dark, muted ground that shifts between charcoal and olive green in the light. Raised ivory wave-like strokes cross the swatch in staggered rows, each with a softly uneven, tactile edge. The compact repeating motif reads as medium scale, making the fabric particularly effective on upholstered chairs, stools and smaller seating where the pattern can remain clearly visible. Its earthy depth and pale linear highlights create a smart, quietly sculptural finish.

How to use it

Pair the olive-charcoal ground with warm timber, aged brass and stone-toned upholstery for a grounded scheme. The ivory wave lines also work well as a graphic counterpoint to plain cushions in oatmeal, moss or soft grey.

Use this dark olive-charcoal velvet to bring graphic movement and quiet contrast to tailored upholstery.

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.
