About this fabric

The swatch has a plush, low-contrast texture, with the nap creating delicate cloudy variations rather than a printed or woven motif. Its darkest areas approach blue-black, while raised sections reveal a cooler, richer navy sheen. The plain surface keeps the colourway composed and architectural, allowing the depth of the velvet pile to provide the visual interest. As a velvet, it is especially well suited to upholstery where this deep tone can give a chair, sofa or headboard a sumptuous presence.

How to use it

Use Nuvolari Navy on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard in rooms with pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal, where its cool inky depth can anchor the scheme without introducing a pattern.

A deep, softly mottled navy velvet that brings plush depth and a quietly luxurious finish to upholstered furniture.

Nuvolari Navy 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.
