Element Jet Black

Element Fabric

Element Jet Black is a near-black woven textile with fine horizontal movement across its surface. Its dense-looking texture gives the colour depth, preventing the shade from appearing completely flat.

About this fabric

The fabric reads as a deep jet black, with delicate charcoal-like variation visible where the light catches the closely worked horizontal weave. Its surface appears compact and tactile rather than smooth or glossy, making it well suited to structured upholstery and tailored forms. The design is visually quiet, with texture rather than a printed motif providing the interest. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so suitability for a particular project should be confirmed against its intended use and testing requirements.

How to use it

Use this deep black colourway on a clean-lined sofa, dining chair or occasional chair where its subtle woven striation can soften the severity of a solid black finish. Pair it with pale timber, brushed metal or warm neutral walls to bring out the texture and avoid a one-dimensional dark scheme.

The near-black ground and understated horizontal weave bring depth and tailored character to upholstered seating.

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.
