What design is complete without some pattern?
Thankfully, we are experiencing an explosion of textiles coming from talented women who are artists first. So adding an item or two from my favorite designs can be worth the extra expense. You are paying for a work of art.
London based Orla Kiely is everywhere. Her fresh, graphic prints define “today”, and can be seen hanging from the arms of the trendiest in the form of expensive handbags, or on the walls of the most confident.
Liora Manne is New York. Innovative not only in design, but in process as well, she has even designed for Nike. I just placed a drum lamp in a client’s home and I can truthfully say it is even more wonderful in real life.
Amy Butler is, believe it or not, Midwest. Speaking like the native I am, “who’da thunk” such cheerful colors and designs would come from Ohio? Amy Butler’s prints are complex and easy at the same time. I think they are the bomb diggity.
