Hendrix Blue

Hendrix Blue is a cool, muted blue with a softly peppered texture that gives the plain surface quiet movement. The weave reads sturdy and tailored rather than glossy.

About this fabric

This Hendrix colourway shows a denim-leaning blue softened by a slightly heathered, speckled surface, so it feels calm and modern rather than bright or primary. As a plain from the Hendrix collection, it keeps the look clean while the texture adds visual depth across the cloth. The fabric is specified for contract use, with a high 100,000 Martindale rating and a composition of 91% Polyester and 9% Nylon/Polyamide, making the finish feel built for demanding settings. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and professional dry clean in situ is recommended for care.

How to use it

Use this shade on banquettes, lobby chairs, or office seating where a cooler blue will read crisp against timber, charcoal, or pale grey finishes. Its muted tone also layers well with white piping or brushed metal details for a sharper contract scheme.

A practical blue with a subtle textured finish, ideal for clean-lined contract seating.

Pairs well with

Hendrix Blue 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.
