About this fabric
This colourway has a deep black base with a smoky, textured appearance and discreet golden-brown speckling that gives it more dimension than a flat black. Woven in 100% polyester and designed for contract use, it offers a hard-wearing 80,000 Martindale, making it well suited to busy interiors. The fabric is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request, and after care includes professional dry clean in situ or washing at 40°C, subject to the pattern book instructions. Its tonal variation keeps the surface from reading harsh, giving it a slightly softened, lived-in depth.
How to use it
Use Modena Black on structured chairs, banquettes or panels where the mottled finish can catch the light and stop the colour feeling flat. It pairs especially well with warm timber, brass details and pale neutrals for a sharper, contemporary contrast.
A deep, contract-grade black with subtle warm flecks that adds quiet depth to tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with
Modena Black 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.
