Misc Fabric

Molfetta String has a pale taupe-grey ground with a closely spaced, flecked weave that gives the surface gentle movement. Its softly mixed tone reads warm and quiet rather than stark grey.

About this fabric

The close-up reveals a small woven structure formed from pale taupe-grey yarns with lighter raised flecks arranged in short, regular marks. This creates a tactile, subtly irregular surface instead of a flat solid colour. The muted neutral tone shifts gently across the weave as the light catches the raised threads, adding depth without introducing a strong pattern. As a fabric rather than a smooth cloth, its visible texture makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use this pale taupe-grey colourway to soften a neutral sitting room, where its flecked texture can sit comfortably beside warm oak, linen shades and simple upholstered forms.

Pair this softly mottled taupe-grey weave with warm timber, chalky neutrals and understated upholstery or curtains.

Molfetta String Fabric is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
