The Beat That My Heart Skipped – A blog dedicated to daily design inspirations. By Rohini Wahi.

Noticing a lot of painterly ink splatter products lately, Dynasty pillow Eskayel, ink-blot T-Shirt Rachel Rose, Splatter collection Emma Bridgewater, Bleeding oil digital print textile, Amy George.

I visited the Ambiente trade fair in Frankfurt last week and fell in love with a soft furnishings exhibitor from Jaipur in India – Manglam Arts…

They showed an exquisite collection of contemporary prints with traditional roots in ikat, batik and other dye techniques. I loved their display  of indigo and grey textiles…

I attended Bubble at the Islington Business Design Centre last week for work. Bubble is  a trade fair showcasing established and emerging kids lifestyle brands from the UK, Europe and the US. I loved this trade show, it was sweet, inspiring and miniature versions of every day items are hard to resist!

One of the brands I fell in love with was Lucky Boy Sunday - a Danish kids accessories brand that creates knitted cushions, softies, blankets and other quirky knitted items for kids. I really liked their dark and humorous approach to their collections bulbous bodied characters and sinister moustached men adorn pillows, whilst knitted hands with six fingers adorn keyrings and astonished looking creatures feature on dolls. I really admire a brand who are not afraid to tap into a child’s wicked imagination!

Love this smart Vertigo bedding from Ferm Living with black piped detail!

Darling Clementine’s new folk inspired Woodland Collection for Autumn features trays, cushions and sweet cards in the series. I love the combined use of clashing but complimentary colours orange, pink and reds all highlighted by bold black accents.

See their Day With us a few months ago…
