Martinez Tungsten

Martinez Tungsten is a cool, medium grey colourway with a softly clouded surface rather than a defined motif. Its restrained tonal variation gives the plain-looking textile gentle visual depth.

About this fabric

The swatch reads as tungsten grey with subtle shifts between lighter and darker grey across the face. A fine, almost vertical grain is visible beneath the softly mottled finish, adding texture without creating a strong pattern. No composition, width or rub-test information has been supplied for this fabric, and no performance features are noted. The low-contrast surface keeps the colourway calm while preventing it from appearing completely flat.

How to use it

Use Martinez Tungsten where a cool grey foundation is needed, such as a contemporary chair, relaxed sofa or full-length curtain. Balance its steel-like tone with warm timber, ivory or taupe accents to soften the scheme.

Use its cool tungsten-grey tone to bring quiet depth to seating, curtains or layered neutrals.

Pairs well with

Martinez Tungsten 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.
