Nola Jet

Alonso FabricCCF0397-08

Nola Jet has a deep, near-black ground with subtle charcoal variation running through its dense, tactile surface. The low-key tonal movement gives the colourway depth without introducing a separate colour.

About this fabric

The surface is visibly nubby and softly irregular, with mottled charcoal marks emerging from the jet ground as the light shifts across the swatch. Its close texture gives the black shade a richer, more dimensional reading than a flat plain cloth. At 304 gsm and 140 cm usable width, Nola Jet has a substantial presence for upholstery applications. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are listed as 0 cm, making the tonal texture non-repeating in the supplied specification; the standard length is 30 m.

How to use it

Use Nola Jet on a sculptural armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its deep charcoal-black tone can anchor pale timber, warm metals and softly lit rooms. Pair it with textured neutrals to let the subtle mottling show rather than competing with it.

A rich jet-black textile with softly mottled depth and a tactile surface, suited to statement upholstery.

Nola Jet 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.
