Tortoise takes the mottled, amber-brown patterning of natural tortoiseshell and translates it into a large-scale wallpaper, each cloudy patch of colour bleeding into the next with the organic irregularity of the real thing. The design reads as both a natural material and an abstraction, the 69-centimetre repeat giving it presence on the wall without becoming literal.
Made in the United Kingdom, it is 69 centimetres wide with a square repeat of 69 centimetres in both directions, and is sold by the roll of just over four metres. The surface is spongeable. It is available in four colourways and suits rooms where you want pattern that feels collected rather than applied.
