About this fabric

The close-up shows a large-scale graphic of curved strokes, broken bands and scattered flecks in stark cream and black. The near-black areas read dense and dramatic, while the cream sections keep the overall colourway visually crisp rather than flat. Its bold, irregular pattern has an energetic studio-art character that will become a strong focal point on upholstered furniture. No composition, width or rub-test data is supplied for this listing.

How to use it

Use Vandal Monochrome on a statement chair, ottoman or occasional sofa, balancing its sharp cream-and-black contrast with plain upholstery and warm wood or metal accents.

Use this high-contrast cream and black graphic as a statement upholstery accent against quieter furnishings.

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.
