About this fabric

This catalogued velvet has a dense-looking, even surface with no visible motif or woven pattern. Its cool blue-black tone reads deeper than standard navy, while the pile creates a restrained sheen across the swatch. In brighter areas, the surface softens into blue; in shadow, it returns to an almost black eclipse shade. The fabric is catalogued as Velvet, with no additional performance features or specification data supplied.

How to use it

Use Frieda Eclipse on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard when the room needs a cool, inky anchor. Pair it with pale stone, smoked timber or brushed metal to draw out the blue glints in its pile.

Use this near-black blue velvet to bring depth and a softly polished finish to upholstered seating.

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.
