Moonlight Memphis | Catherine Martin by Mokum

"I couldn’t be more thrilled to be revisiting one of my favourite places; an imagined tropical fantasia. Particularly as I’ve been able to explore and create a five panel mural that allows one to truly escape into this magical world. This new frontier and the revisiting of past favourites through colour has been a pleasure to explore. I hope that that those experiencing the Moonlight Memphis collection feel transported to a joyful tropical place where palms sway and peacocks roam.”
- Catherine Martin

Our textured velvet was inspired by a desire to create the ultimate luxury velvet, one with a linen velvet aesthetic and a soft, sumptuous handle. Bespoke was carefully constructed with a viscose pile creating a lustrous, plush finish and antiqued surface. Our Italian velvet has been recoloured in 12 new shades, refreshing the palette in an array of beautiful neutrals and opulent theatrical tones in coordination with our recent Royal Menagerie collection and the present Moonlight Memphis designs.

A nostalgic upholstery woven in lustrous velvet, Beverly Hills resembles a peacock feather motif and speaks to the glamour of old Hollywood. Multi-coloured stria yarns surrounded by cut velvet form the central motifs, sitting on a fine ottoman weave. Beverly Hills is woven in five rich colorways: Champagne, Emerald, Peacock, Topaz, and Whisky.

Our beloved Grande Boucle textile is testament to our enduring nostalgia for the 1970s. Released in an expanded colour palette imbued with hues of burnt orange, bronze, and rich chocolate brown alongside deep greens and a bold peacock. A weighty and dimensional boucle upholstery, Grande Boucle is woven in Italy in a mix of natural and synthetic fibres, and expertly finished to ensure a soft, luxurious handle and tailored finish. The light acrylic backing adds further weight and prevents movement of loose cushions. 

Introducing Muscat, our divinely decadent new colourway. Jungle Room is named after Elvis’s Graceland hideaway and features motifs from the Royal Menagerie's hand painted artworks, singled out and adapted into an exquisite embroidery design they reveal a rich, tropical-infused textile. Multiple stitching techniques have been employed, overlaying the plant and flower motifs to add complexity and beauty to Jungle Room. Our embroidery decorates a 100% linen base cloth, providing a natural foundation for the embellishment.

Banana and fan palms rhythmically sway in the tropical breeze of our best-selling La Palma Wallpaper. The delicate layers of this hand painted design are digitally printed onto a paper-based vinyl and embossed with a faux linen effect, speaking to 1950s bark cloth prints and adding further dimension to our playfully dramatic print. 

The refreshed palette includes three new colourways, encouraging full tropical immersion and aligning La Palma with our Royal Menagerie and Moonlight Memphis collections. Ranging from romantic pastels to tropical greens, heady whisky, and a brooding sepia shade reminiscent of tropical flora during the golden hours of dusk and dawn.

Nightbird Symphony gathers painted motifs from Catherine Martin’s textile oeuvre to present an extravagant composition. The panel design depicts a family of regal birds, referencing Royal Peacock, amongst the lush tropical foliage borrowed from La Palma and Monkey Business. Three colour themes are explored: Sepia celebrates tropical print through a nostalgic sepia tinted frame, Sunkissed is our tribute to the hazy warmth and vibrant radiance of the horizon during the golden hour, and lastly, the lush flora and fauna of Midnight is illuminated by the light of the moon.

Printed continuously onto a soft, 100% linen base cloth, Nightbird Symphony is a semi-translucent, painterly print which embraces the spirit of maximalism in coordination with the luminous wallpanel.

Coordinating panel to the drapery, our hand painted gouache artwork is digitally printed onto a non-woven paper that replicates the aesthetic of handmade parchment. Embellished with an iridescent gold finish, Nightbird Symphony Wallpaper Panel is a maximalist tropical artwork with an alluring warmth and subtle glamour.

Named after the desert oasis where Hollywood came to play, and mid-century design thrived. We revisited the original La Palma artwork to create Palm Springs, removing the iconic bananas from our print design and instead highlighting the tropical foliage in this luxurious velvet jacquard upholstery. The woven construction uses a combination of loop and cut pile to capture the illustrated palms in viscose and polyester yarns. Palm Springs is available in four colours: Champagne, Palm Leaf, Topaz, and Whisky.

Satnin is our latest wide width linen drapery, named in homage to the nickname Elvis’s beloved mother gave him. The natural luminosity of linen fibre and our optimistic colour palette enrich the satin weave while additional slub yarns add subtle texture, enhancing and relaxing the surface of the fabric. Satnin combines the timeless elegance of a satin weave with our contemporary love of linen to create a truly modern textile which brings a refined yet relaxed sense of glamour to our range.
