Martinez Verbena

Name: Martinez Verbena
Brand: Zinc Textile

Martinez Verbena presents a continuous field of muted violet-purple, enlivened by barely raised vertical lines. Its soft, even lustre shifts subtly across the swatch rather than forming a printed motif.

About this fabric

Martinez Verbena is a softened verbena purple with a cool berry-violet cast rather than a red plum tone. The close surface shows delicate vertical striations and slight tonal variation, giving the plain ground movement across the swatch. No performance features are noted for this fabric, making its distinctive colour and fine weave the defining points of the specification.

How to use it

Use this cool verbena shade for full-length curtains in a room with chalky neutrals, pale timber or brushed metal, where its violet depth can read as an elegant colour accent without becoming overly bright.

A cool violet-purple with fine vertical texture and a gentle sheen, well suited to softly tailored curtains.

Pairs well with

Martinez Verbena 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.
