Isthmus Smoke Fabric

Name: Isthmus Smoke Fabric
Brand: Andrew Martin

Misc Fabric

Isthmus Smoke has a quiet, cool-grey presence, built from narrow vertical bands and pale, broken botanical forms. Its woven surface gives the pattern a softly textured, tactile finish rather than a flat printed look.

About this fabric

The colourway combines smoky grey with lighter stone-grey highlights, creating a subdued tonal contrast that reads calm and slightly mineral in the photograph. Vertical channels give the design a measured rhythm, while fragmented leaf-like and geometric marks bring movement within each band. The close-set weave adds fine visual grain and gently catches the light across the raised-looking pattern. No performance features are noted in the supplied data, so practical suitability should be confirmed for the intended application.

How to use it

Use Isthmus Smoke where a room needs cool, quiet texture without a strong colour statement: its grey-on-grey bands would bring understated structure to an armchair, bench, curtain or Roman blind. Pair it with pale stone, chalk, charcoal and weathered timber to draw out the colourway’s restrained mineral tone.

A cool smoky-grey woven design with vertical structure and softly broken botanical motifs, equally suited to upholstery or drapery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Isthmus Smoke Fabric without fighting it. 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.
