Braid Concrete

Name: Braid Concrete
Brand: Kirkby Design

Arco Fabric

Braid Concrete presents a tightly repeated braid of angular chevrons in cool concrete grey and soft white. Its fine geometric rhythm gives the surface a clean, ordered appearance with subtle woven depth.

About this fabric

The pattern is made from closely packed V-shaped and interlocking forms, creating a small-scale graphic effect across the cloth. Concrete grey gives this colourway a cool, understated tone, while the pale yarns sharpen each zigzag and keep the design light rather than dense. A visible woven texture softens the precision of the geometry, and the supplied catalogue records no performance features for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Braid Concrete with chalky whites, pale grey upholstery and brushed metal for a crisp contemporary scheme. Its cool, muted colouring also works well on a statement chair or structured curtain where the repeating braid can be read clearly.

Use the cool grey-and-white braid pattern to bring quiet graphic structure to contemporary upholstery, cushions or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Braid Concrete without fighting it. 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.
