About this fabric

This French Grey colourway shows a pale, cool grey ground with a subtle silvery cast and fine woven texture visible across the surface. It is part of the Hendrix collection by J Brown, a plain design offered in 41 patterns, and this version is specified for contract use. The fabric is made from 91% Polyester and 9% Nylon/Polyamide, with a robust 100,000 Martindale rating for heavy-duty upholstery applications. Its back-coated fire performance to Cigarette & Match to BS5852 makes it suitable for projects where compliance matters, and professional dry clean in situ care helps preserve the finish.

How to use it

Use this shade on clean-lined sofas, banquettes or dining chairs where you want a neutral that still feels crisp rather than bland. It pairs especially well with charcoal, oak and black metal, and its cool undertone helps brighten north-facing rooms.

A cool, easy neutral for tailored upholstery and calm contract schemes.

Pairs well with

Hendrix French Grey 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.
