Unafraid to push the boundaries of conventional design, Kirkby Design take an experimental approach that has earned them a place as an industry leader in cutting-edge fabrics, wallcoverings and accessories including contract specific qualities.
With an awareness of the issues faced by our industry, we are consciously changing the way in which our products are engineered and manufactured and how they can be recycled. Alongside creating designs of outstanding quality, sustainability is at the forefront of every decision made during the development process. Each launch we are introducing more sustainable fabrics and wallcoverings to our portfolio, allowing customers to make more consciously driven choices with a reduced impact on our planet.
Always looking to innovate, we thrive when experimenting and drawing inspiration from unconventional influences. The desirability of our collections comes from their uniqueness, playing with thought-provoking textures such as wool, chenille boucle and quilted velvet, while offering a mix of bold and understated designs. Predominantly known for our range of upholstery cloths we also offer contemporary, drapery cloths, as well as an unforgettable mix of wallcoverings. Each collection has a distinctive colour palette that develops and changes with each launch, keeping us at the forefront of an ever-changing market.
As well as creating our own designs, we have also pioneered unique collaborations with renowned designers, most notably, Jon Burgerman, Tom Dixon, Greem Jeong, Studio Pepe, Transport for London (TfL) and Eley Kishimoto, allowing us to adapt and reinterpret iconic patterns with a Kirkby edge.
Relied upon for our library of versatile and usable plains, we endeavour to offer a diverse sensory experience even with our plain fabrics, including interesting textures and practical finishes to make working with our products even more appealing.
Kirkby Design is part of The Romo Group, a family run business in its fifth generation. The range is available worldwide through an extensive network of selected interior designers and retail outlets.
