Blend is a low impact, 100% post-consumer recycled polyester melange fabric with a dash of vintage and a classic, woollen suit-like expression. The design stands out with its visibly irregular structure and subtle mottled details that add an elegant and jazzy edge to the classic look.

The colour scale encompasses 24 melange blends with an excess of darker colours that beautifully enhance the design’s melange effect. The dark-toned melanges are accompanied by a few splashes of colour including softly muted versions of blue, red, and yellow. The palette includes an extensive scale of greys from light, soft greys to dark charcoal that elegantly complement the fabric’s classic look and texture.
Combining excellent colour performance, superior light fastness, and a rating of 100,000 Martindale, Blend is designed for longevity and keep furniture looking new and attractive year after year.
