Hendrix Chocolate

Name: Hendrix Chocolate
Brand: J Brown
SKU: 103

Hendrix Chocolate is a richly grounded plain with a warm cocoa-brown surface and a tight, textured weave. Its subdued depth gives the colourway a tailored, understated look rather than a flat chocolate finish.

About this fabric

Part of the Hendrix collection by J Brown, this plain fabric is designed for contract use and is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request. The swatch shows a dense, small-scale weave that reads as tactile and resilient, with the brown tone sitting between dark coffee and cocoa. The 91% Polyester, 9% Nylon/Polyamide composition and 100,000 Martindale rub result support its hard-wearing character. In this colourway, the surface catches the light just enough to reveal subtle tonal variation across the weave, keeping the finish warm and grounded.

How to use it

Use this chocolate shade on banquettes, lounge chairs, or headboards where a deep neutral is needed to anchor the room. It pairs especially well with tan leather, pale oak, and chalky off-whites for a rich but balanced scheme.

A hardwearing cocoa tone that brings warmth to contract seating and tailored interiors.

Pairs well with

Hendrix Chocolate 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.
