Volume by Kirkby Design

Kirkby Design has charted a new direction in their 2021 aesthetic – Minimal Modernity. Transitioning from the bold graphic designs of recent collections into more fluid shapes and maximal effects, exploring experimental details with touches of lux and technical finesse. Taking cues from current trends and melding fashion and extreme textures into the interiors space, Kirkby’s 2021 release conveys an on-point, contemporary approach coloured with a well-balanced, sophisticated palette. 

In this four part series, the six collections feature a tight range of practical neutrals in fashionable colour shades including highly textural and tactile fabrics that are dominating home interiors at the moment.  From chunky mohair to long furry pile, Kirkby Designs strives to offer something that is a little bit unique while providing practical decorative solutions to the home décor enthusiast.

Volume Collection

All about the touch, Volume is an irresistible representation of extreme texture and tactility. Super soft virgin wool, chunky bouclé, shaggy mohair and 3D velvets stimulate the senses with an out-of-this-world feel. Experimenting with structural confines, quilted velvets depict an oversized corduroy design and a bed of decorative roses, while plush virgin wool is used to create a statement, tonal herringbone. An intriguing mix of chenille and bouclé yarns combine, while long pile cotton creates fun and furry furniture, and a wool bouclé is woven in an irregular moiré pattern. A playground of texture, each design is a study of weaving capabilities that push the limits of normality and embrace individuality.
