Contemporary

We are commissioned by designers, architects and interior decorators specifying bespoke British made fabrics for contemporary projects, often with a traditional twist. These clients have been unable to find the perfect fabric “off the hanger” and come to Humphries Weaving for our customisable approach.

All the fabric we manufacture is custom woven to order.

This offers our clients the opportunity to adapt to specific requirements; be it design, scale, colour, yarn type, weight, texture or finish. They draw inspiration from our large archive of previous work, ask us to present development ideas or come to Humphries with a clear design direction & finalised artwork.

Bespoke Colour, Design & Composition 

Our clients are welcome to use the existing range of designs we have available, examples of which can be found here. We also thrive when generating ideas from trends within the interiors world and are often inspired during our visits to London galleries like the Tate Modern and the V&A. Our sensitive approach means we take the time to organically hand draw large scale repeats, to provide authentic and sophisticated fabrics to bring our clients vision to fruition.

We explore creativity through colour and woven construction and enjoy using a wide variety of fibres in our British made fabrics.

British Made Fabrics

 

Discretion is key with the decorators and specifiers we work with and for the many private clients that they source for. Due to this confidential nature, we are not always able to share images of our contemporary fabrics or the beautiful rooms they adorn. Below are examples of some of the many projects we have completed in the past, all inspired by current trends, original artwork or historic designs we have added a contemporary twist to.

If you wish to know more about any of the British made fabrics please contact a member of our specialist team.
