Like a deck of cards, this collection of responsibly sourced decorative textiles has a young royal vibe, conjuring thoughts of grand estates that are home to eccentric interiors. Evoking nostalgia with their playful patterns, graphic geometrics and organic shapes emerge as crisp cut and uncut velvets, soft chenilles and blankety weaves. With its vintage vibe, the collection celebrates the charm of bygone trends while presenting something new and exciting. Combining the modernisation of recycled and responsibly sourced yarns with classic inspiration is the essence of innovation. A colour palette to match; regal, jewel-like shades and retro inspired tones are captivating and playfully sophisticated.

To work alongside the collection, Kirkby has delved into the world of paints in an exciting collaboration with COAT Paints. The collection includes 12 bespoke colours, 6 blend and 6 bold shades, that work in perfect harmony with designs from the HEIR collection.

MERLON takes its name from the notched parapets of medieval castles, where the jagged edges offered both defence and a commanding view. The fabrics dense, organic cotton velvet echoes that same strength and structure, with its bold square pattern adding a touch of historic grandeur to any space. Perfect for upholstery, an anti-pressure marking finish ensures its practicality as well as its beauty.

The cotton used in MERLON is organic, meaning it is grown without the use of pesticides or fertilisers, resulting in improved soil quality and reduced water consumption.
