Bruce Dalmatian

Name: Bruce Dalmatian
Brand: Zinc Textile

Bruce Dalmatian presents a close, peppered field of black and white, with tiny broken marks distributed through a visibly tactile weave. The monochrome balance reads cool and graphic rather than warm or tonal.

About this fabric

The compact surface is built from fine irregular crossings, creating a lightly nubby texture rather than a flat printed motif. Charcoal-black flecks sit against an off-white ground, while denser passages give the cloth a subtly mottled depth. Its dense-looking weave makes this colourway read as an upholstery-leaning textile from the image. No composition, width or rub-test specification is supplied for this exact fabric, and no performance features are noted, so those details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use this peppered black-and-white colourway on a tailored armchair or occasional chair where its cool contrast can sit against warm timber, pale walls or solid charcoal accents.

A cool monochrome weave that brings tactile contrast to tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Bruce Dalmatian 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.
