Loopy Link Storm

Kirkby Design X Eley Kishimoto Fabric

In Loopy Link Storm, a misted blue-grey ground carries a dense charcoal repeat of loops, arches and dashes. The cool palette keeps the graphic pattern composed rather than high-contrast.

About this fabric

The pale blue-grey ground gives Storm a cool, softened base, while charcoal-grey lines build rows of linked, rounded arches. Between these arches, short vertical bars create a measured rhythm, and small pointed junctions sharpen the otherwise curved pattern. Fine woven grain is visible across the swatch, gently breaking up the flatness of the two-tone design. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its appeal here is the crisp geometric repeat and restrained Storm palette.

How to use it

Pair this cool blue-grey and charcoal colourway with pale grey upholstery, dark-painted timber or brushed metal for a clean, architectural scheme. Its measured repeat can also add definition to relaxed curtains or tailored cushions.

Use the cool blue-grey ground and charcoal repeat to bring crisp, graphic definition to seating, cushions or curtains.

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