Martello Dolphin is a cool, deep grey woven fabric with a softly mottled surface and subtle charcoal variation. Its restrained tone gives the cloth a calm, textural presence rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The Dolphin colourway shifts between graphite, charcoal and softer grey threads, creating a gently weathered appearance across the surface. A fine crosshatched weave is clearly visible, with slim vertical and horizontal lines adding tactile definition without a drawn motif. Weighing 300 gsm and offering a 144 cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight choice for both upholstery and drapery. With a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, the quiet texture can be planned without matching a design.

How to use it

Pair Martello Dolphin with pale stone, chalky white or cool blue-grey furnishings to draw out its blue-steel undertone. It also suits tailored seating and curtains where the softly variegated weave can add depth without introducing a strong pattern.

Use this cool, charcoal-leaning grey to bring quiet depth to upholstered seating, cushions or full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

Martello Dolphin 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.
