Hendrix Ebony is a deep, shadowy black with a slightly heathered surface that stops it reading flat. The close, tightly woven texture gives the swatch a practical, contract-ready character.

About this fabric

This colourway sits in a near-black ebony tone, softened by fine lighter speckling across the weave so the surface has depth rather than a solid flat finish. The plain design keeps the look clean and versatile, while the visible texture adds a subtle grain that catches light softly. It is specified for contract use and made from 91% Polyester and 9% Nylon/Polyamide, with a strong 100,000 Martindale rating. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it is a sensible choice where appearance and performance both matter. Professional dry clean in situ is recommended, with further care guidance available in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use Hendrix Ebony to ground pale woods, brass details, and textured neutrals, or pair it with charcoal and slate for a restrained contract scheme. Its muted black finish works especially well on tailored seating where you want depth without a glossy sheen.

A dark, hardwearing neutral for tailored seating and contract schemes.

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.
