Loopy Link Carbon

Kirkby Design X Eley Kishimoto Fabric

Loopy Link Carbon combines a near-black carbon ground with a repeated charcoal-grey graphic that reads as architectural and precise. The low-contrast colouring gives the pattern depth without losing its crisp outline.

About this fabric

The design is built from rows of rounded linked arches, slim vertical dashes and small star-like junctions, all picked out in muted grey against the dark ground. The carbon base reads almost black, while the grey pattern catches the light just enough to reveal the orderly repeat. Its close, structured surface and medium-scale geometry give the colourway a smart, composed character rather than a soft or decorative feel. The tonal contrast keeps the pattern visible at close range while allowing the overall impression to remain restrained.

How to use it

Use this charcoal-and-grey colourway on a statement chair, bench or tailored cushion where its architectural repeat can be seen clearly. It also works with graphite, blackened timber and pared-back neutral schemes for a controlled monochrome room.

The near-black ground and muted grey geometry bring a graphic, tailored edge to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Loopy Link Carbon 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.
