Misc Fabric

Pollen Denim reads as a cool, misted denim blue rather than a bright navy. Across the swatch, tiny pale looping marks sit in a tightly packed field, giving the surface a lively, tactile grain.

About this fabric

Grey and white woven highlights soften the blue, creating a gently weathered denim tone with visible depth. The repeated motif is very small and closely arranged, so it reads more as an all-over texture than a bold graphic pattern. Its dense surface catches the light in fine flecks, adding movement without losing the calm character of the colourway. No composition, width or performance features are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool denim-blue shade on a compact sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its pale flecking can add texture without introducing strong contrast. Pair it with chalky whites, soft greys and warm natural wood for a balanced, quietly modern scheme.

A cool denim-blue upholstery textile whose dense, tactile weave brings quiet pattern and texture to contemporary seating.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Pollen Denim without fighting it. 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.
