Kobi Fabric20

Kobi Sapphire is a richly textured plain with a deep blue ground and a subtly speckled weave that lifts the surface. The colour reads cool and steady, with a dark sapphire depth that feels composed rather than bright.

About this fabric

Part of the Kobi collection by J Brown, this plain fabric is made from 100% polyester and is suitable for Heavy Domestic use. It carries a Martindale result of 40,000, making it a practical choice for everyday seating while retaining a smart, tailored look. In this Sapphire colourway, the cloth shows a dense navy-to-indigo character with lighter flecks across the weave, giving the surface quiet movement and a lightly heathered finish. The after-care guidance specifies professional dry clean in situ, and the fabric is supplied back coated to cigarette & match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request.

How to use it

Its cool, dark blue tone works well on a sofa, chair, or banquette where you want depth without blackness. Pair it with pale oak, chalky neutrals, or brushed brass to bring out the speckled texture.

Use for tailored seating or refined accent pieces that benefit from its rich, textured blue.

Pairs well with

Kobi Sapphire 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.
