COCOBOLO is a dense tropical hardwood from Central America, prized for its deep rose-brown hue with inky black veining. Freshly cut, it can appear almost luminous, then slowly oxidizes into a darker, more subdued palette that feels both warm and authoritative. Its strength, natural oils, and visual richness make it a favored material for fine furniture, musical instruments, and small objects meant to be touched as much as admired.

This stunning shantung, woven from dark rose and onyx black yarns, recalls Cocobolo wood both in both spirit and surface. Its irregular slubs and shifting sheen mirror its namesake’s appearance, the rose-brown hue emerging and retreating with the light.
