About this fabric

The swatch is visually plain, with no motif, and its short velvet nap creates a gently varied surface as the light moves across it. The colour sits between deep olive and brown-black, giving the cloth a muted, enveloping depth. Catalogued as a Velvet from Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection, it has the substantial visual presence associated with upholstery cloth. No further performance or composition specifications were supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair this deep olive-brown with warm timber, aged brass and chalky neutrals, or use it on a statement chair where the near-black tone can provide a rich anchor.

Use its near-black olive-brown depth to anchor upholstered seating and add quiet drama to a room.

Young Nureyev Mousse 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.
