Okeyo Onyx

Name: Okeyo Onyx
Brand: Romo

Okeyo Onyx is a closely textured woven fabric, shown here in a nuanced mix of charcoal, warm greige and soft stone. Its restrained tonal contrast gives the surface a quietly graphic, peppered appearance.

About this fabric

The image shows a dense, small-scale weave in which dark charcoal threads are interlaced with lighter greige and stone-coloured fibres. Rather than reading as flat black, the Onyx colourway has a softened, warm-grey depth that changes subtly across the textured surface. The compact weave appears substantial and well suited to upholstery applications. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature has been supplied for this colourway, so the description is based on the visible cloth.

How to use it

Use Okeyo Onyx on a tailored sofa, dining chair or ottoman where its charcoal-and-greige texture can anchor warmer beige upholstery, dark wood and brushed metal. Its softened black tone is especially effective when a room needs depth without the severity of a solid black fabric.

The charcoal-and-stone balance brings quiet depth to tailored upholstery and works naturally with warm neutrals, black accents and aged timber.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Okeyo Onyx without fighting it. 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.
