About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Young Nureyev Ebano has a dense-looking, even surface with no discernible woven motif in the swatch. The Ebano colourway reads as dark chocolate brown, approaching espresso at its deepest points rather than a warm reddish brown. Subtle changes across the nap create a quiet tonal haze, keeping the dark shade from appearing completely flat. Its rich, low-lit character gives upholstered forms a luxe and enveloping presence.

How to use it

Use this deep chocolate colour on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its dark nap can bring depth to a room. Pair it with tobacco leather, aged brass, smoky neutrals or warm timber to keep the scheme atmospheric rather than stark.

A deep chocolate velvet with a softly shifting nap, ideal for richly toned upholstery and intimate interiors.

Young Nureyev Ebano 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.
