Element Bonfire

Name: Element Bonfire
Brand: Kirkby Design

Element Bonfire has a rich burnt-terracotta tone, softened by a close horizontal weave that gives the surface subtle movement. Its earthy warmth reads as deeper and more grounded where the texture catches the light.

About this fabric

This Kirkby Design fabric is shown as a dense, low-relief textile with fine horizontal striations rather than a printed motif. The Bonfire colour combines russet, copper and brown notes, creating a softly mottled surface with a warm, autumnal depth. Its substantial-looking weave makes it well suited to upholstery, particularly where a plain fabric with tactile presence is wanted. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Bonfire on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard to introduce a grounded burnt-orange note. Pair its warm terracotta depth with aged timber, tobacco leather, cream boucle or muted olive accents.

A warm, tactile upholstery cloth whose dense horizontal texture brings earthy depth to seating.

Pairs well with

Element Bonfire 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.
