Modena Prussian Blue

Modena Fabric13116

Modena in Prussian Blue is a deep, slate-leaning blue with a subtle worked surface that catches the light in soft, mottled patches. The finish reads rich and understated rather than bright, giving the plain a quietly textured look.

About this fabric

Part of the Modena collection by J Brown, this plain fabric is made from 100% polyester and is specified for contract use. It has a high 80,000 Martindale abrasion rating and is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request. In this colourway, the prussian blue appears dark and inky at first glance, then shifts to cooler blue highlights as the pile or weave catches the light. The overall effect is smart and restrained, with a slightly worn, tonal depth that adds interest without reading as patterned. After care is professional dry clean in situ or washable at 40°C, subject to the pattern book guidance.

How to use it

Use this deep blue to ground a sofa, banquette or headboard, especially where you want a calm, tailored look. It pairs well with pale oak, brushed metal and crisp neutrals, which bring out the cooler blue notes in the surface.

A dark, versatile blue that works beautifully on tailored seating and coordinated soft furnishings.

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.
