Description
Raven is the near-black with deep warmth underneath — the color of crow feathers in sunlight, of polished obsidian, of a moonless night just before dawn.
Raven sits at the deep end of the dark color spectrum — darker than Charcoal, less stark than pure black, with a subtle warmth that prevents the depth from going harsh or industrial. It's the color of architectural-statement curtains: confident, dramatic, and unmistakably grown-up. The 296 GSM Ultra Plus heavyweight plain weave gives Raven the body and matte surface it needs to read as a solid plane of color rather than as cheap dark synthetic. 75% recycled fiber composition, 72,500 Martindale rubs, 310 cm panel width.
The Caspian Plains Ultra Plus collection accommodates:
• Living rooms, dens, home theaters, and studies
• Bedrooms where light control and a dramatic finish are priorities
• Modern, industrial, dark academia, art-deco, and contemporary interiors
• Rooms with white, cream, or warm-wood walls and floors
• Spaces with matte black, brass, or polished steel hardware
• Floor-to-ceiling drops for full architectural vertical impact
• Single, double, and multi-panel installations

Fabric Information
Raven is built on the Ultra Plus 296 GSM plain-weave base — 25% Polyester Filament, 15% Recycled Polyester, and 60% Recycled Spun fiber producing the mass and matte surface a near-black needs to read as architectural depth rather than as cheap synthetic darkness. Near-blacks are dye-demanding: the pigment depth required is significant, and any visible variation across panels reads as a manufacturing fault on such a saturated color. The Ultra Plus dye calibration is engineered specifically for that depth and panel-to-panel uniformity. The matte plain weave absorbs light into the color rather than reflecting back a synthetic sheen, which is what separates a sophisticated Raven from a cheap black curtain. The 310 cm panel width gives most windows seamless single-panel coverage. Colorfast and no-color-bleeding ratings hold across 40°C machine washes — meaningful for very dark fabrics that historically transfer color in laundry. Near-zero shrinkage maintains custom drops, 72,500 Martindale rubs deliver hard-residential durability, and flame retardant certification meets safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pure black is the absence of color — flat, harsh, and visually heavy in a way that can read industrial or aggressive in residential rooms. Raven has subtle warmth underneath the depth that softens the impact, giving it dimension and atmosphere. Raven reads as 'considered dark' rather than 'just black.'
Charcoal is a deep gray — clearly a color in the gray spectrum, with daylight revealing its warmth. Raven is meaningfully darker — approaching true black, with the warmth subtle rather than visible. Charcoal anchors a room; Raven dramatizes one. Choose Raven when you want the highest-impact dark option.
Significantly reduces light transmission — the heavy 296 GSM plain weave plus near-black color combine for the strongest light-filtering of any color in the collection. Not technically blackout-rated. For full sleep darkness, layer Raven over a true blackout panel on a double track. For a den, home theater, or guest room, Raven alone provides plenty of control.
Only if the room is already dark or the rest of the palette is also deep. Raven paired with white or cream walls and natural-wood floors defines the windows architecturally rather than darkening the room. Raven plus dark walls plus dark floors reads as enveloping — which is the point in a dedicated home theater or library, but not what you want in a small living room with limited natural light.
White, cream, ivory, and warm-white walls let Raven read as a strong architectural frame. Light oak and pale wood floors balance the depth from below. Brass and matte black hardware suit Raven particularly well; brushed steel works for a more industrial look. Avoid pairing with mid-gray walls that can flatten Raven's distinction from the wall.
Historical issue with very dark fabrics — engineered out of the Ultra Plus dye system. The no-color-bleeding rating is tested and reliable; the pigment is structurally bound to the fiber and doesn't transfer in normal washing. Running the first wash separately is good practice as a precaution.
Dark fabrics show light dust and pet hair more visibly than pale ones — universal. The advantage with Raven is the machine-washable 40°C rating: a wash cycle every six to eight weeks keeps the panels looking fresh. A lint roller between washes handles day-to-day buildup.
Very dark fabrics are more UV-vulnerable than mid-tones because the color depth they require is the most susceptible to bleaching. The colorfast rating significantly extends Raven's life over budget dark curtains; for high-sun windows expect subtle softening over 5-7 years. Lining the curtain or pairing with a sheer underneath extends the practical lifespan.
Grommet is the cleanest contemporary option — the metal grommet pairs strongly with Raven's architectural character. Tab Top is more relaxed. Rod Pocket softens with a gathered top. Custom Pinch Pleat is the most formal. All four standard tops handle the 296 GSM weight evenly.
Yes, with deliberate setup. Mount the rod 10-15 cm above the window frame and extend 15 cm on each side so the curtain frames the wall rather than sitting on the window. Hang to the floor. In a small light-walled room with this approach, Raven reads as a confident frame rather than as a heavy weight. In a small dark-walled room, Raven compounds the heaviness — choose Charcoal or Indigo instead.

The cushions are beautiful. The vacuum pack shipping worked great for us because we were able to transport them to our cottage in the compressed form and were able to free them and try them out on the furniture before we stored it for the season. Everything was exactly as ordered. And we liked the fabric even better than in the pictures.

All around great
We had several a curved bench seats. The curve is subtle as far as measurements go, but becomes more exaugurated with the length of the bench. They did a great job. Couldn't reasonable be happier, and the cushions were delivered on time too.
