Vibeke Onyx reads as a very dark charcoal-black with a dry, tightly woven surface and subtle tonal flecking. The finish feels low-sheen and tailored rather than glossy.

About this fabric

This Sanderson Vibeke fabric is specified at 140 cm usable width, 40 m standard length, with a substantial 458 gsm weight and 24.4 threads per cm. In Onyx, the cloth appears almost black at first glance, but the weave reveals a softer graphite depth as the light catches the textured surface. The close, even construction gives it a firm, upholstery-friendly character, while the lack of pattern repeat keeps the look clean and contemporary. Its matte, grainy finish makes the colour feel quieter and more refined than a flat jet black.

How to use it

Use Vibeke Onyx on structured sofas, dining chairs or ottomans where the dark tone can anchor a room without visual fuss. It also pairs well with pale woods, brushed metal and warm neutrals for contrast.

A deep charcoal-black texture that works neatly on tailored upholstery and darker interior schemes.

Pairs well with

Vibeke 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.
