Furnishing Fabric
Mourne Check was a signature fabric for designer Robin Day, who used it regularly during his ten year period designing furniture for Hille in the 50s. Day also used Mourne Mist, a fabric scattered with the characteristic flecks of complimentary and contrasting colours of yarns spun in Donegal. The yarns we use are custom-spun to match the original heritage palettes in our archives. These fabrics are suited to domestic upholstery on mid-century pieces or contemporary furniture following similar lines.
