About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Martini has a dense-looking surface with fine directional shading rather than a printed motif or visible pattern. The colour sits between muted olive and aged gold, giving the swatch a warm, earthy depth without appearing bright or yellow. Gentle variations in the nap create darker and lighter passages across the otherwise plain ground. No performance features are noted in the supplied catalogue.

How to use it

Use this muted olive-gold shade on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its changing pile can add depth to a room. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and softly contrasting neutrals.

Use this softly lustrous olive-gold velvet to bring warmth and 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.
