For AW23, Clarke & Clarke launches on September 1st four new collections, expressing new styles through luxurious mixes of fabrics and layered textures, for contemporary and versatile interiors…
These four collections, have been divided into Vivido, Urban, Whitworth and Northwood. For design that encapsulates the simplicity and striking form of abstract shapes, Vivido is a collection of fabrics and wallpapers that takes its cue from architecture and is softened by a considered, muted palette.
New to the fabric house, sartorial stripes bring a timelessness to interiors in a velvet that is fit for purpose in contract and domestic applications. Tailored stripes in a selection of widths take this linear look to the next level.
For a take on a modern geometric, Urban is inspired by Cubism, with its abstract take on shape, but delivers an artistic, cohesive collection of fabric designs in a rich palette.
Northwood completes the AW23 collection. Studio G’s collection of 100 per cent cotton fabrics bring an eternally English feel to the portfolio, with a colour palette inspired by the seasons and a beautiful blend of prints that take their inspiration from nature, whether in the luscious forest landscapes or the delicate florals of a meadow.
Inspired by the trend for simple, abstract shapes, Vivido is a luxurious collection of nine wallcoverings and a mix of seven fabrics, including tactile weaves, embroideries and prints. Layering techniques add depth to architecturally inspired designs, which are softened by a relaxed, tonal palette. Contemporary colourways such as Midnight and Spice add a touch of contrast to this easy-to-use range, which is punctuated by subtle metallic highlights.
Taking its cue from the abstract aesthetics of Cubism, Urban transforms landscapes and objects into geometric artforms. Incorporating a range of statement designs on soft, cut velvet and one tactile weave, this expressive collection of stripes, circles and chevrons spans a rich colour palette in six fabric designs.
“For AW23 we have created a versatile range of collections that tailor to any market, from luxurious bold velvets, rustic textured linens and crisp cottons, there is something for everyone,” said Jessica Butler, Senior Designer Clarke & Clarke. “Creating these designs has been a journey, with inspiration from our Manchester studio, its amazing architecture, artistic movements and the rolling hills of the North all playing a part. Experimenting with tonal colour palettes and natural elements has brought our in-house artwork to life. It’s always our aim to combine new and exciting colours with timeless designs that will suit any interior and this launch really encapsulates that vision.”
For the first time, the studio presents a timeless range of dual purpose tailored velvet stripes. Comprising four smart designs in a range of widths and bestselling colourways, Whitworth’s versatile aesthetic is suitable for both contract and domestic settings.
