Inspired by the graphic quality and stunning use of techniques and colour by the Art Movement of the 1950s and ‘60s. This collection offers a new take on No.9's focused ethos-one of fresh and exciting design.
Repeat : 13.5cm H. x 13.5cm V.
A simple and graphic design of interlocking shapes. The gloss of the dense, linear embroidery contrasts well with the linen ground.
Repeat : 31cm H. x 45cm V.
Abstract shapes cut from hand painted paper have been reassembled in a trellis pattern. The green colourway references garden rooms whilst the black nods to painted floors.
Repeat : 137cm H. x 90cm V.
The name refers to the abstract expressionists whose free use of paint and colour inspired the design. Both colourways are as handsome gathered as when used on the flat.
Repeat : 67cm H. x 87cm V.
The scale of this bold and graphic rendering of twisted rope updates a classic design genre : Bigger and Better, it echoes the striking imagery of 1960s Pop Art.
Repeat : 33.5cm H. x 45.5cm V.
Stripes of linked Hexagons make for a dramatic repeat. Printed on our highly textured groundcloth, this design works well both as curtains and upholstery and is available in four striking colourways.
Repeat : 23cm H. x 24cm V.
A lustrous cotton and linen geometric weave in a useable scale. A sophisticated construction givesan elegant sheen to curtains and blinds, and works in contrast with many of the more textured No.9 linens.
Repeat : 67cm H. x 60.5cm V.
This abstract, graphic sheer calls to mind the Italian painter renowned for his large scale sculptural canvases. Many casement fabrics look fiddly on a large scale, whereas this looks its best at a huge window.
Using a new, chunkier Polypropylene outdoor yarn, this plain has a wonderfully soft and natural handle, which is enhanced by the melange of yarn within each colourway. Some are very subtle, others havea soft checkerboard effect.
These two classic stripes have a crisp and tailored feel from the twill construction and fresh colours. The two scales, available in the same colour palette, should inspire some wonderful, quirky combinations.
Repeat : 32.5cm H. x 53cm V.
A graphic embroidery of zig-zags using Polypropylene yarn on our popular Palm Plain fabric. It brings a witty twist to a classic scale of design and also references iconic Pop artists of the 1960s.
Repeat : 17cm H. x 23cm V.
Repeat : 11cm H. x 11cm V.
Repeat : 70.5cm H. x 70cm V.
A clever and fun interpretation of wood grain that adds a fun and surreal element to a room. The heathered yarn of the weft emulates nature. Available in six nature-inspired colourways.
