About this fabric

Black - 2010/01 is a plain black textile with a close, softly napped surface and no visible motif. The shade is a deep, cool near-black; the short texture breaks up the darkness with minute charcoal-grey highlights where it catches the light. The close face appears dense and substantial, making upholstery the most natural application for this colourway. It is catalogued as Fabric, with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Pair this cool, absorbing black with pale timber, chalky walls or brushed metal when you want the upholstery to read as a strong graphic anchor. Its subtle nap softens the severity of the colour without introducing a pattern.

Use this deep, light-absorbing black to give tailored upholstery a strong, quietly textured presence.

Black - 2010/01 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.
