Ion Fabric

Ion Jet Black is a near-black textile with a softly mottled surface and subtle vertical variation. Its deep tone absorbs most of the light, while the texture keeps the swatch from appearing flat.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a dense, cool black rather than a softened charcoal, giving the fabric a strong, enveloping presence. Across the surface, faint tonal shifts and brushed-looking marks create an irregular, low-contrast texture. The compact appearance of the cloth makes this colourway best suited to upholstery, where its depth can define a chair, sofa or headboard. No further performance or composition specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair Ion Jet Black with pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal to offset its inky depth. Used on a sculptural armchair or full sofa, its subtly distressed texture adds richness without introducing a visible motif.

Use its near-black, softly mottled surface to bring depth and a quiet, tailored mood to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Ion 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.
