Savanna Noir

Plains & Semi Plains Fabric

Savanna Noir is a deep charcoal-black plain with a subtle woven surface and a calm, matte finish. The colour sits close to black, but the texture softens it so it feels refined rather than flat.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, Savanna Noir has a close, even texture that gives the dark surface a gently tactile look. The 140cm width and 0cm pattern repeat make it a straightforward choice for upholstery projects where a clean, uninterrupted finish is wanted. In this colourway the black reads as a softened charcoal with only slight tonal movement across the weave, which keeps the fabric looking smart and grounded. Its plain appearance and cotton handle suit seating, cushions and other tailored interiors that need depth without a visible motif.

How to use it

Use Savanna Noir to anchor a scheme with pale timber, off-white paint or brushed metal accents. Its near-black tone is especially effective on chairs, ottomans or dining seats where a crisp, architectural look is needed.

A sleek dark cotton that reads quietly modern and works well with oak, metal and pale neutrals.

Pairs well with

Savanna Noir 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.
