Code Flax

Name: Code Flax
Brand: Kirkby Design

Code Flax presents a pale flax-beige ground with a fine, closely worked weave that creates gentle tonal movement across the surface. Its quiet texture gives the colour more depth than a flat plain fabric.

About this fabric

The woven surface appears finely textured, with tiny interlocking marks shifting between warm flax, soft beige and near-cream highlights. This close-scale construction keeps the pattern understated while allowing the natural-looking colour variation to show at the surface. Code Flax is catalogued as a fabric in Kirkby Design’s 4d Upholstery collection, and no performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use Code Flax to upholster a relaxed armchair, sofa or dining seat where its pale flax tone can sit comfortably with warm woods, chalky neutrals and woven natural accessories. The subtle surface variation will add interest without competing with stronger patterns.

A softly textured flax beige with subtle woven depth for calm, understated upholstery.

Pairs well with

Code Flax 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.
