About this fabric

Catalogued as Velvet, Chapinero Espresso has a dense-looking, tactile surface with a softly mottled, almost smoky appearance. The colour sits between dark chocolate and roasted coffee, with warmer brown highlights appearing where the pile catches the light. Its tonal variation gives the plain surface visual movement while retaining the enveloping depth associated with dark velvet. With no performance features or further specification data supplied, it is best considered for considered upholstery applications.

How to use it

Use Chapinero Espresso on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its warm, near-black brown can anchor a room. Pair it with aged timber, burnished metal and lighter textured fabrics to keep the deep tone from feeling flat.

A deep, softly mottled velvet that brings low-lit richness and tactile depth 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.
