Heir Fabric

Merlon Jet Black presents a near-black surface crossed by a fine, even square grid. The restrained relief gives this dark colourway a softly architectural character rather than a completely flat appearance.

About this fabric

Merlon Jet Black reads as a deep charcoal-black, with fine vertical and horizontal lines forming compact squares across the fabric face. The low-relief texture catches light along the grid edges, while the recessed areas remain softly shaded to give the dark tone added depth. Its visibly structured, substantial-looking weave makes it best suited to upholstery rather than light, fluid drapery. No composition, width, rub test or other performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Merlon Jet Black on a clean-lined armchair, ottoman or sofa where its cool, dark tone can anchor a room. Pair it with pale timber, brushed metal or warm neutral upholstery to bring out the subtle square relief without losing its tailored mood.

A tailored black grid texture for structured upholstery and contemporary seating.

Merlon Jet 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.
