About this fabric

The swatch is catalogued as Velvet from Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection. Its dense-looking surface reads as a muted olive brown rather than a straightforward chocolate brown, with subtle tonal movement across the face. The short, soft-looking nap creates a restrained sheen in places while keeping the overall colour dark and enveloping. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use this deep olive-brown colourway on a sculptural armchair, sofa or headboard where its near-black depth can bring weight and intimacy to a room. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and soft neutral textiles to draw out its earthy olive cast.

A deep olive-brown velvet with subtle nap shading, suited to tailored upholstery and statement seating.

Young Nureyev Oliva 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.
