Elio Onyx

Elio Fabric

Elio Onyx is a deep charcoal-black textile with a tightly woven surface and faint vertical tonal movement. Its near-black shade reads softly textured rather than completely flat.

About this fabric

The close weave combines charcoal and black tones, creating a subdued, finely grained surface that shifts gently with the light. Very subtle vertical striations are visible across the swatch, giving the plain ground added depth without introducing a distinct motif. No composition, width or rub-test data is supplied for this colourway, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use Elio Onyx on tailored upholstery where its near-black charcoal tone can anchor a room, pairing it with pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal to keep the scheme balanced.

Use this deep charcoal-black weave to bring quiet depth to tailored seating and balance lighter surrounding tones.

Pairs well with

Elio Onyx 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.
