Sustainable Decorative Weaves
Progression through experimentation; this collection of decorative weaves uses sustainable and recycled materials creating yarns that are better for the environment such as hemp, bamboo and Ahimsa silk. Inspired by natural phenomena and given a graphic edge, vistas of marble, basalt columns and rock faces are translated into geometrics and contemporary visuals. Unmistakably Kirkby, the collection comprises an innovative mix of materials and styles, including cut and uncut velvets, a super-soft chenille and a warming wool.
FEATURES:
•Eight designs
•Mix of upholstery and dual-purpose qualities
•Coordinating cushions are also available

VINE
Decorated with a playful, irregular woven stripe, this upholstery fabric has the calming effect of flowing VINE leaves. The addition of NATURAL HEMP to this cotton weave creates a textured, two-tone cloth with a seersucker effect. HEMP is considered a SUSTAINABLE FIBRE as it is grown without the use of pesticides or fertilisers. Also, unlike the production of other crops used in textile manufacturing, growing HEMP ENRICHES THE SOIL WITH NUTRIENTS and requires very little water. Hemp plants are cultivated at close proximity, producing a high yield and storing large quantities of CO 2 each year. VINE is OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 CERTIFIED , meaning the fabric is free of harmful chemicals. [PRODUCT
