Cambremer - Ébène

Name: Cambremer - Ébène
Brand: Lelievre
SKU: 4265-03

Cambremer - Ébène has a striking black-and-ivory appearance, built from tightly intersecting lines that create a fine, graphic grid. The close-up reveals a firm-looking woven surface with subtle textural variation between the dark and pale threads.

About this fabric

The Ébène colourway reads as near-black against a softly ivory ground, giving the design a measured, architectural contrast rather than a flat solid appearance. Fine horizontal and vertical lines form a small-scale check, while slight irregularities in the weave keep the surface from looking overly mechanical. Its dense, structured appearance makes it well suited to upholstery, particularly where a tailored graphic note is wanted. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Pair this black-and-ivory check with warm timber, aged brass and plain ivory textiles to soften its crisp geometry. It would give a chair, bench or compact sofa a smart, tailored finish without relying on a bright accent colour.

Use this deep black-and-ivory check to bring crisp graphic structure to upholstered seating and occasional chairs.

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.
