Orion Iii Jet Black

Orion Iii Fabric

Orion III Jet Black is a near-black plain weave with a quiet horizontal grain. Its low-key surface texture gives the otherwise inky colour subtle depth rather than a flat, solid appearance.

About this fabric

In this colourway, the black reads deep and neutral, with only slight tonal variation across the woven face. Fine horizontal lines and a softly textured surface interrupt the dark ground, catching light gently instead of creating a pronounced pattern. The dense-looking construction makes it a natural upholstery choice. It is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use this deep, low-sheen black on a tailored chair, sofa or ottoman when you want strong definition without a glossy finish. Balance its near-black depth with pale timber, warm metal or softly coloured textiles.

A deep black woven texture for tailored upholstery, grounding both contemporary and traditional schemes.

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.
