Tango Velvet VelvetLF1990

Tango Velvet Noir is a deeply shaded charcoal velvet with an almost-black appearance. Its softly varying surface catches just enough light to reveal the nap without disturbing its restrained, enveloping tone.

About this fabric

The Noir colourway reads as a cool, near-black charcoal rather than a flat ink black, giving the surface a little visual depth. Its short, even velvet nap creates a quiet tonal shift across the swatch as the light moves over it. As a velvet, it is best suited to upholstery; no performance features or further technical specifications are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this deep charcoal-black velvet on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard when you want a room to feel intimate and polished. Pair it with pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal so the subtly light-catching nap is not lost in an all-dark scheme.

A near-black velvet with a subtle nap and quietly dramatic depth, ideal for tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Tango Velvet Noir 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.
