Hendrix Scarlet is a vivid plain weave with a rich, punchy red ground and a lightly textured surface. The close weave gives the colour a solid, even look with subtle depth rather than shine.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a bright scarlet red, warmed slightly by the woven texture and softened by the small, regular slub of the cloth. Hendrix is a plains design with 41 colourways, and this version has a dense, practical handle that suits its contract usage. The fabric is made from 91% Polyester and 9% Nylon/Polyamide, with a robust 100,000 Martindale rating, so it is well placed for busy seating and commercial schemes. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and further treatments are available on request; professional dry clean in situ is advised.

How to use it

Use Hendrix Scarlet where you want a strong accent against charcoal, oak or deep green finishes, as the colour holds its intensity without looking glossy. It will also bring warmth and energy to banquettes, dining chairs or occasional stools in hospitality settings.

Use for statement seating or contract pieces where a crisp red lift is needed.

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.
