Orion Ebony

Orion Ii Fabric

Orion Ebony is an exceptionally deep black textile with a barely visible horizontal surface texture. In the swatch, the fine weave catches just enough light to reveal its structure without lifting the colour.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as true ebony: near-black, cool and low in contrast, with a quiet depth across the face of the cloth. Fine horizontal irregularities run through the dense-looking weave, giving the surface more character than a flat plain. The subdued texture is most apparent where light grazes the swatch, while shaded areas settle back into an almost solid black. No composition, width, rub-test or other performance specification is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Orion Ebony on tailored seating where a strong, near-black anchor is wanted, pairing it with pale stone, chalk or warm timber to bring out the subtle weave. Its restrained surface also suits dark, tonal interiors where texture rather than colour contrast provides the detail.

A near-black woven surface with restrained horizontal texture for tailored upholstery.

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.
